40% of employees are parents
Understanding the mental health needs of parents is important because balancing work and family is often a challenge.
Invest in Your Employees' Well-Being with Candlelit Care
Almost half of Black mothers face mental health issues before their babies turn one.
Black women are less likely to be screened, and are not properly diagnosed or provided treatment prior to a crisis. We recognize and honor the unique lived experiences of underserved Black women and birthing parents, providing culturally-tailored support that acknowledges the intersections of race, culture, and maternal mental health.
More than half of these women do not receive any support or treatment
While screening for symptoms of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) is a clinical standard among maternity care doctors, these symptoms are mostly “managed” — not prevented nor treated with convenient, culturally-responsive options like virtual group coaching from skilled peers and same-week referrals into therapy.
