Kingswood Church is invited to WEAR GREEN on Sunday, May 25th to show their support and awareness!

May 8- This week, we focus on recognizing the importance of maternal mental health.
Pregnancy and parenting can be joyful and can also present a variety of strong emotions.

• Strong emotions may include feeling overwhelmed, scared, tired, worried, and inadequate. Depression, anxiety, and other symptoms during and after pregnancy are common and treatable. They affect new parents of every culture, age, gender, race, and income level.
• For many people, these feelings go away on their own, in time. But for some, these emotions are more serious and require assistance. Help is available. You are not alone. Asking for help can help keep you and your baby as healthy as possible.
• Parenting children can be filled with excitement and stress.
• Proper self-care and seeking help when you need it can help you maintain good mental health.

To all the moms and mother figures in our lives: Happy Mother’s Day! For all you do to support others, we hope you have the support you need.  Our Mental Health table in both campuses has information about local resources and support groups.
