Momcozy Expands Maternal Mental Health Resources With New Perinatal Support Guide

Oct 17, 2026

Los Angele, California, United States, October 17, 2026 -- Momcozy has introduced a new perinatal mental health guide designed to help expectant and new mothers better understand maternal mental health conditions, recognize potential warning signs, and explore available support and treatment resources. The guide also highlights Momcozy's ongoing efforts to expand access to qualified perinatal mental health professionals through its partnership with Postpartum Support International (PSI). The resource launches as applications remain open through October 31 for the Momcozy × PSI $100,000 scholarship fund.

Access to perinatal mental health care also depends on the availability of trained professionals. Announced October 1, the Momcozy × PSI $100,000 scholarship fund will award 50 full scholarships to U.S.-based licensed healthcare providers, covering 100% of coursework and examination fees for the Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C). A portion of the scholarships will be dedicated to eligible midwives and nurses within the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) network, with a focus on clinicians serving communities with limited maternal mental health resources.

“It can be difficult to find a place where you know providers will understand,” said Wendy Davis, PhD, PMH-C, President and CEO of Postpartum Support International (PSI), in the Oct. 1 announcement.

Applications close Oct. 31, and recipients will be announced Nov. 6.

The new guide provides an overview of perinatal mental health conditions that can arise during pregnancy and after birth, including the baby blues, maternal depression, and postpartum psychosis. It explores potential signs and risk factors, the impact these conditions can have on mothers and families, and available treatment and recovery resources. The guide also highlights Momcozy's Perinatal Mental Health Certification Project, which supports efforts to expand access to trained professionals.

For additional information and referrals, parents can contact Postpartum Support International's HelpLine at 1-800-944-4773. The HelpLine provides support and resources but is not an emergency service. In the U.S., individuals experiencing a mental health crisis can call or text 988 or text HOME to 741741 to reach the Crisis Text Line. The National Maternal Mental Health Hotline also offers free, confidential, 24/7 support at 1-833-852-6262.

Its range includes hands-free breast pumps that allow for pumping without holding the device, as well as nursing pillows designed to provide positioning support during feeding.

I grew up eating bowls of Chinese migration history. You?

The dining table disappeared beneath a lavish procession of dishes. Our family took food seriously. It was sacred, even. Dinner was never merely about eating. It was the one time each day when everyone was expected to gather, regardless of schedules, moods or whatever else the world demanded outside that room. At the centre sat the pièce de résistance: a whole steamed fish, usually sea bass, topped with ribbons of ginger and spring onion in a fragrant pool of oil and soy sauce. Alongside it were...

How China’s macabre practice of human sacrifice in burials came to an end

Archaeologists have long found a disturbing pattern in the graves of ancient rulers: the dead were sometimes accompanied by other dead. Around royal tombs, the remains of people – who appear to have been killed specifically to follow their masters into the afterlife – lie alongside precious objects and weapons. A new study from Egypt has brought this practice back into the news. At the ancient royal cemetery of Abydos, archaeologists re-examined the skulls of people buried around the tombs of...

How to put together a wardrobe for cool Baguio or cold Japan

The idea of layering is a concept foreign to many Filipinos. That is, until they go on their first overseas trip and realize how it helps one deal with the sudden drop in temperature. A light jacket is fine for Baguio-like weather but sometimes, only layers can help ward off the chill. In the past, one had to go to different stores or, in a bind, borrow a trench coat, puffer or quilted jacket from someone with a similar build. Accessories like mittens, warm gloves and tightly knitted bonnets were also hard to come by unless one was open to buying from a shop selling overruns or previously owned pieces. The arrival of the Japanese apparel brand Uniqlo in 2012 helped take out the guesswork out of layering. It sold many of the elements needed for a trip to a cold-weather country from thermal underwear and heat-retaining pullovers to down jackets and fleece coats. Now, tech-savvy customers can even put together a virtual wardrobe by clicking on the Uniqlo app (uniqlo.com). By typing in the country they plan to visit and the month they will be there, the app can suggest pieces designed to work together. At the flagship store in Glorietta, there is a large touchscreen where visitors can try out the app for themselves. It reminded one of that opening scene in the 1995 movie “Clueless” where Cher (Alicia Silverstone) picks out her OOTD, the now iconic plaid yellow jacket with matching mini skirt. While the process of putting on and doffing the different components during the day can get tedious, trying them on at the store can be a fun experience. This year, their full-zip fleece jackets come in classic solids with raglan sleeves or color-blocked such as black and gray, and brown and beige. It’s a piece worth considering as the brand has been making and updating this particular line since 1994. They also have pile-lined fleece blousons, button-up pullovers, oversized hoodies and a range of down jackets in varying weights and hefts. One reads from their in-store magazine LifeWear that the down and feathers used in their products is “sourced exclusively from waterfowl raised under strict ethical standards.” For their fall-winter 2026 collection, Uniqlo only used feathers from three Chinese facilities. According to the article, “China produces about 40,000 tons of down yearly yet only the top 10 percent of this satisfies Uniqlo’s exacting standards.” The new collection from Uniqlo is available in stores and online. Hoodie day This weekend, Gap is celebrating the hoodie with its Gap Hoodie Day. To mark the occasion, the brand launched a limited edition reversible logo hoodie. Featuring two wearable looks in one, and crafted from Gap’s heavyweight structured fleece, the special-edition style offers a fresh take on a classic icon. Gap collaborated with Filipino artist Denzel Chang to create limited-edition iron-on patches that can be added to the hoodie as a means of expression. Also this weekend, the brand has a buy one, get one promo on all Gap logo styles. All items emblazoned with the Gap logo are included in the promo. Online shoppers (gap.com.ph) can also avail themselves of a 40 percent discount on logo items like the t-shirts, joggers and even the hoodies.

Skin doc brings science, human stories to reality TV series

Dermatologist Dr. Kei George Rebolledo wants viewers to look beyond flawless skin and dramatic before-and-after photos in “Kutis Reveal,” a new reality series that follows 12 Filipinos undergoing dermatological treatments while confronting the personal challenges linked to their skin conditions. The 13-episode series, hosted by Rebolledo, founder of Kutis by Kei, documents the participants’ consultations, treatments, healing and transformations, highlighting the medical process and emotional experiences behind their journeys. “Kutis Reveal” premieres today, Oct. 17, at 10 a.m. on Bilyonaryo News Channel, Channel 31, and airs every Saturday thereafter. During the press conference, he said he developed the program to present a more realistic view of dermatology. “I wanted to combine the medical side with the human side of dermatology. I am very firm about setting expectations because skin conditions cannot simply be cured overnight. This is not a miracle show. This is a real reality show, and we do not make promises just to attract attention or go viral,” Rebolledo said. Unlike programs that focus mainly on dramatic makeovers, “Kutis Reveal” shows the consultations and procedures leading to each participant’s results. The series also explains why certain treatments are recommended and what patients can realistically expect within the program’s treatment period. Rebolledo said he was careful about selecting participants whose conditions could show measurable improvement within the production schedule. He explained that some concerns, such as active acne, may respond more quickly to treatment than scars, which can be more difficult to address. “For acne scars, for instance, I cannot promise that they will disappear completely. I give them a realistic range of improvement based on their condition and the time we have. As doctors, we are not miracle workers. We have to be honest about what we can do and what the patient should expect,” he said. One of the participants is a stage 4 breast cancer survivor who developed scars associated with chemotherapy treatments. Rebolledo said he explained during the consultation that the scars could improve but would not be completely removed. The 12 participants were selected from approximately 200 people who auditioned that included cancer survivors, overseas Filipino workers, domestic abuse survivors, an LGBT advocate, and individuals dealing with mental health challenges. Their skin concerns include acne, acne scars, melasma, psoriasis, pigmentation and other forms of scarring. Rebolledo said the show was also intended to challenge the perception that dermatological care is primarily for celebrities or people seeking aesthetic enhancements. “There are ordinary people who need a dermatologist because their skin condition is affecting their lives. What we are treating is not just the skin. We are also helping these patients regain their confidence,” he said. The filming also became an emotional experience for Rebolledo, who said he did not expect to be so affected by the participants’ stories. He recalled crying several times during production, particularly while witnessing their transformations. Rebolledo said he personally oversees the training of the clinic’s doctors to ensure they follow standardized treatment protocols and provide appropriate care for each participant. “I am very particular when it comes to choosing and training my doctors. I want to make sure that we have standardized protocols across our clinics because consistency is important in treating our patients,” he said. The procedures featured in the program include LDM by Elogio, Rejuran, Blaumann Laser and Sylfirm X, administered through CurJet and Lenisna, depending on each participant’s condition and needs. Through “Kutis Reveal,” Rebolledo hopes to make dermatological education more accessible while encouraging viewers to approach skin concerns with realistic expectations and seek appropriate medical advice. “I want people to realize that their skin condition does not have to define their future,” he said.
