Synopsis
In 2008 Carla O’Reilly, Elita Paterson, and Tania Bird joined forces and sparked a healing wave of empathy when together they co-authored, The Smiling Mask: Truths about Postpartum Depression and Parenthood, along with the Smiling Mask documentary. With a mission to provide awareness, acceptance, and understanding of postpartum difficulties, they have become awareness advocates and have destroyed the mask of PPD encouraging families across the nation to come forward and use their voices to destroy this silent and secretive illness!
