Maternal mental health is not just postpartum depression. It can also mean postpartum anxiety, obsessive compulsive and bipolar disorders. While awareness has been increasing, less than 20% of women are screened for maternal mental health disorders.

Many mothers still feel uncertainty or discomfort with seeking mental health support due to the social stigma. In one 2025 study, 62% felt they were judged or treated unfairly during the perinatal period for various issues, including postpartum depression. https://www.postpartumdepression.org/resources/statistics/

If you think you are struggling with a maternal mental health disorder, don't suffer alone. Share information about maternal mental health with your loved ones so they can look out for the signs, call your provider to talk about your concerns and check out free resources on CredibleMind https://catawbacountync.crediblemind.com/topics/postpartum-depression

The National Maternal Mental Health Hotline is available by phone call or text and in English and Spanish: 833-TLC-MAMA (833-852-6262).

¿Sabía que el cáncer de mama es el cáncer más común entre las mujeres estadounidenses después del cáncer de piel? La buena noticia es que cuando el cáncer de mama se detecta a tiempo, es más fácil de tratar, lo que da mejores resultados para las personas diagnosticadas. Si tiene 40 años o más, hable con su proveedor de atención médica sobre cuándo comenzar las mamografías, con qué frecuencia realizarlas y cómo hacerse un autoexamen para detectar posibles problemas a tiempo. El Departamento de Salud Pública del Condado de Catawba ofrece el Programa de Control de Cáncer de Mama y Cuello Uterino (BCCCP) a mujeres que no tienen seguro y necesitan exámenes de detección de cáncer de mama y de cuello uterino. Llame al 828-695-4445 para saber si califica y para hacer una cita.

Did you know that breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women after skin cancer? The good news is that when breast cancer is caught early, it is easier to treat, resulting in better outcomes for people who are diagnosed. If you’re age 40 or above, talk to your health care provider about when to start mammogram screenings, how often to screen, and how to perform a self-exam to find possible problems early. Catawba County Public Health offers the Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program (BCCCP) to women who do not have insurance and need breast and cervical cancer screenings. Call 828-695-4445 to find out if you qualify and to make an appointment.

September is Newborn Screening Awareness Month! North Carolina does a simple blood test to check newborns for over 30 conditions. Many of these conditions are life-threatening early in life and some can cause serious long-term problems if they are not treated early. The earlier a problem is found and treated, the better chance your baby will have for a healthy start in life!

It's National Preparedness Month and we all have a role to play to prepare for disasters and emergencies.

Make a plan for your household, including your pets, so that you and your family know what to do, where to go, and what you will need to protect yourselves during a disaster. Consider the unique risks where you live and the needs of your family. Know where you’ll go if you need to leave your home and learn your evacuation routes so you can get there safely.
