Alaska Native
Alaska Native parents face unique challenges and strengths throughout the perinatal period. Research shows that Indigenous communities experience higher rates of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, yet they also benefit from strong traditions of community care and resilience. Access to culturally relevant support can make a meaningful difference in improving outcomes for both parents and children. This page offers resources specifically for Alaska Native individuals and families seeking perinatal mental health support.
