Emily Rose Partners With Postpartum Care USA To Raise Awareness Through New Video
Singer-songwriter Emily Rose is bringing attention to the issue of postpartum depression, which affects many new mothers, through her new partnership with Postpartum Care USA and a powerful new video for her single, “Don’t Talk About It,” out now.
“Don’t Talk About It” speaks directly to the postpartum journey, which impacts thousands of new moms and addresses urgent, largely preventable postpartum issues like nutrient depletion, mental health challenges and thyroid imbalance. One in eight U.S. women experience symptoms of postpartum depression, with rates nearly doubling since 2010, rising to almost 19% in 2021.
“I wrote this song in the depths of postpartum depression. I wasn’t getting the care I needed and was struggling in so many ways,” says Rose. “Writing has always been my outlet—a way to process emotions and begin to heal—so this song became a place where I could finally say out loud everything I was feeling. Looking back, if I had known about an organization like Postpartum Care USA, which is dedicated to supporting mothers’ health after birth, I might not have felt so alone. I probably could have learned healthier, less overwhelming ways to cope. I truly believe in their mission and the compassionate way they walk alongside moms during this vulnerable time.”
PPCUSA CEO/Founder, Stacia Scott, MSN, FNP-BC, explains, “When I opened Postpartum Care USA three years ago, I didn’t truly realize how little maternal mental and physical care and education there was for moms. We as postpartum women aren’t talking to our spouses, we aren’t talking to our friends, and we aren’t demanding answers from our medical providers. This partnership is giving struggling moms a voice, it’s giving them permission to demand that people listen to us, because what we have to say is very real and very important.”
“Don’t Talk About It” is featured on Rose’s debut album, Welcome to Motherhood, which was released earlier this year and chronicles Rose’s personal journey as a young working mother, filled with the wonderful and challenging moments young parents face. Rose’s songs about her experiences as a young mother have resonated widely with thousands of moms who are following her on Instagram and TikTok, with “Welcome to Motherhood” gaining over 165k streams organically since its release and single “Mouths to Feed” gaining over 40k streams in the past two months.
