A note on language: We recognize the diversity of gender identities and expressions. The language in the perinatal mental health world typically reflects cis-heteronormativity and this needs to change. We support gender self-determination. We refer to mothers, fathers, parents, and birthing people in an effort to represent and include everyone in our diverse community.
