May is Preeclampsia Awareness Month

Preeclampsia is a serious blood pressure disorder thatdisproportionately affects Indigenous communities. Raising awareness is aboutmore than just statistics; it’s about protecting our future generations andhonoring our matriarchs.

Here are three social media posts tailored for differentplatforms to help spread the word.

Did you know that Indigenous birthing people are at asignificantly higher risk for preeclampsia compared to other groups? This May,for Preeclampsia Awareness Month, we are reclaiming our health.

Preeclampsia is more than just "high bloodpressure"—it’s a serious condition that requires immediate attention.Knowing the signs can save lives:

• Persistent     headaches that won’t go away.
• Vision     changes (blurriness or seeing spots).
• Swelling     in the hands and face.
• Pain     in the upper abdomen.

Our ancestors were healers, and today, being a healer meanslistening to your body and demanding the care you deserve. You know your bodybest. If something feels off, speak up. ✊🏽✨
