Started in May 2010, the Jackson Hole Perinatal Advocacy Project provides a spectrum of outreach, education, and support for medical providers, women and their families in regards to pregnancy and postpartum mental health issues. Activities include community presentations, a referral line and a free weekly support group for expecting and new parents experiencing perinatal anxiety and mood disorders.

Perinatal means the period "all around" birth, the period of time all throughout pregnancy as well as the baby's first year.

An estimated one in eight women suffer from a perinatal mood disorder, and 80% go undiagnosed and untreated.
