For New Moms and Dads
Postpartum Support International has a Warmline that offers moms dealing with overwhelming feelings, like sadness and anxiety, someone to talk to when the rest of their support network might be unavailable. Leave a message and a volunteer will call you back to offer words of encouragement, a listening ear, and any resources that might be useful. Call them at 1-800-944-4773(4PPD).
PSI also offers free group chats with experts for moms and dads to voice concerns and have questions answered. Click the following link for more information. http://www.postpartum.net/chat-with-an-expert/
Supporting Mamas is a local non-profit based out of Campbell that offers free or low-cost support groups for moms. Some of the groups allow for drop-ins and encourage moms to bring along baby so a lack of childcare doesn't become a barrier to receiving support. Below is the link for their current groups. http://www.supportingmamas.org/support-groups.html
