MOTHERHOOD-UNDERSTOOD

Motherhood Understood is a digital health and community platform dedicated to supporting women affected by maternal mental health issues, specifically postpartum depression and anxiety. Founded by Jen Schwartz, the platform provides a story-sharing hub, educational resources, and a supportive community to reduce the stigma and isolation associated with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. It offers tools such as the "Maternal Mental Health in Minutes" video library and a postpartum planning guide. In 2021, the company was acquired by Motherly, a leading digital parenting platform, to expand its maternal wellness offerings. The platform continues to serve as a critical resource for education, advocacy, and connection for new and expecting mothers.
