RESOURCES
A note about these resources:
I’ve gathered these resources because finding support can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already carrying a lot. My hope is that these provide a helpful starting point, whether you are looking for education, community, or additional support.
Mental Health & Finding Support
National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI)
One of the best general mental health resources for education, support groups, and navigating mental health care.
Great for mental health education, screening tools, workplace wellness resources, and information about anxiety, depression, and emotional well-being.
Pregnancy, Postpartum & Parenting
Postpartum Support International (PSI)
Probably one of my favorite perinatal resources. Provides information, lists of providers who are trained in perinatal mental health, and includes a lot of wonderful resources.
Great local resource, especially for those in Southern California.
Offers education, support, and treatment resources related to perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.
Because fathers/partners are often overlooked and can experience postpartum challenges as well.
