The Blue Dot Project
The blue dot was created by Peggy O’Neil Nosti, a mom who suffered from postpartum anxiety with her third child who wanted to find a way to let other moms know they were not alone. Peggy created a subtle image of a blue dot and a silver lining to illustrate hope.
Our mission is to use the blue dot symbol to raise awareness, provide support, and nurture solidarity with the aim to ending the stigma and shame surrounding perinatal mental health disorders.
