Write an Article about Maternal Mental Health for a Local Media or News Outlet

Sharing your story — whether you have personal or professional experience with maternal mental health conditions — is a powerful way to raise awareness and motivate people to get involved.

To write an article about your experience (also called an “opinion editorial” or “op-ed”), visit your local news or media outlet’s website and search for “story submissions” or something similar (check the footer for a link). Most outlets have a form and submission guidelines to help you write and share your story.

We have provided a couple sample articles as inspiration to help you write your own article for a local newspaper, blog, magazine, or other media outlet in your community.
