Above all, we want you to know you’re never alone, and that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. If you’re not feeling quite like yourself and you’re concerned about your mental and spiritual well-being, ask for help, always.
We’ll be there to lift you up, and happily connect you with postpartum counselors and screenings. We’ll always be cheering you on and wishing the best for your growing family.
