Celebrate National Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week

The first week of May brings National Maternal Mental Health (MMH) Awareness Week.  Join a Utah MMH awareness event including screening the Dark Side of the Full Moon, a health fair with local services and support groups around the valley and a panel after the film at IMC from 5:30-9pm!

At the film screening we will be honored to have the family of Emily Dyches, the Salem Utah mother who died in February in an accident related to severe perintal mental health complications, joining us and speaking before the film. Emily was a mother of five and her family is working hard through their foundation, Nurture the Light, to bring awareness and improved care to women in Utah.  For more information on their foundation please visit: https://www.facebook.com/nurturethelight/
