In this special Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month conversation, we are joined by Erika Schmitt, Director of Counseling and Family Support Services at a Pittsburgh-based nonprofit, to explore the importance of reproductive mental health support across the entire journey into motherhood — from trying to conceive, through pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.
Erika shares her perspective on expanding access to counseling services that support individuals navigating infertility, pregnancy, and postpartum experiences, and highlights the critical need for care that meets people where they are emotionally and medically throughout these stages. The conversation underscores how maternal mental health is not a single moment in time, but an ongoing journey that deserves compassion, resources, and specialized support.
