On average 1 in 5 women worldwide struggle with maternal mental health disorders. Maternal mental health disorders are much more than the baby blues and consist of varied mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD and feelings of isolation. But you are not alone!
The US Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) is proud to offer a support service for pregnant individuals and new parents who are in need of mental health support.
The National Maternal Mental Health Hotline is available 24/7 and provides free, confidential support, resources, and referrals to pregnant and postpartum women and their loved ones who are facing mental health challenges.
💚 The National Maternal Mental Health Hotline is not a “crisis line.” If you are in suicidal crisis, please call or text 988 or visit the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. If an individual is in imminent danger of harm to self or others, they should call 911.
Hotline counselors provide support through phone and text in English and Spanish. Interpreter services are also available in 60 languages as well as TTY (users can use a preferred relay service or dial 711 then the hotline number)
Call 1-833-852-6262 24 hours a day…7 days a week
