Tune into Facebook Live Tuesday, September 10th, at 5:30 PST/8:30 EST for the vigil. The vigil will be hosted by Steven D'Achille of the Alexis Joy D'Achille Fo...undation for Postpartum Depression. Light a candle to honor his wife and all of the mothers lost to maternal suicide tomorrow night. Consider sharing a photo of your candle or link to an article of a mother you are honoring. Sample post: It’s Maternal Suicide Awareness Week. Tonight I’m honoring the mothers lost to suicide and the children and families they leave behind. #MomsAreNotImmune #KnowMomFacts #MomSuicide.

Today is the first day of Maternal Suicide Awareness week. The US does not currently require states to report maternal suicide rates. #KnowMomFacts because #Mo...msAreNotImmune.
