Lieber Institute for Brain Development

Excited to watch this documentary and to see one of the country's top research universities bringing light to maternal mental health.

Motherhood. It is supposed to be one of the most magical times of a woman’s life. Statistics show for one in five women, it turns into the hardest struggle they have ever faced. In a new documentary that is now streaming, psychiatric experts from around the world, including UNC School of Medicine Executive Dean, Dr. Samantha Meltzer-Brody, provide insight on why it is so important to give women access to care, including the tools and knowledge to get well.

Mothers who are struggling with their mental health can contact the UNC Center for Women's Mood Disorders and explore other resources on the center's website: https://unc.live/4f1zDqI
