YOU ARE NOT ALONE.  WE ARE HERE TO HELP.

Moms Supporting Moms is for:

Pregnant/postpartum women and their partners looking for support and guidance through their baby’s first year and beyond.

Program focus

Moms Supporting Moms offers a multipronged approach to supporting and guiding expectant and postpartum moms and their families. Participants will choose which of the following services fit their needs the best:

  • A mentoring program pairs participating women with trained volunteers who are experienced moms themselves. Mom mentors offer guidance in understanding the baby’s needs, feeding, growth and development.
  • A weekly support group is available for moms experiencing mental health challenges. Please note that a clinical diagnosis is not required.
  • Phone and text support is also available.
  • Partners are encouraged to take advantage of a quarterly support group.
  • Participants receive referrals to community resources and specialized therapists.

Program details

  • Length –  Mom mentors meet or communicate with participating moms for the baby’s first year. Support groups are ongoing and are available as long as needed.
  • Location –  At this time, support groups are fully online, and mentors communicate via phone calls, video chats and porch deliveries.
  • Additional support – Warmline at 919.454.6946; text support line at 910.898.2139
  • Cost – No charge

Note:  We still offer the mentoring program previously called Welcome Baby. It has simply come under the Moms Supporting Moms umbrella!

Important note for emergencies: If you or someone you know needs immediate medical attention due to extreme symptoms (suicidal thoughts or psychosis), call 911 or take the mother to the emergency room immediately. Postpartum psychosis is an extremely rare event that occurs in less than 1 percent of new mothers and is not to be confused with postpartum mood and anxiety disorders.
