You Are Not Alone
The fourth trimester is real — and it matters.

The weeks and months after birth can bring unexpected emotions — joy, grief, anxiety, and everything in between. Our counselors provide a safe, judgment-free space to process what you're feeling.

Common Questions
Postpartum support, explained.
What is postpartum depression?
Postpartum depression (PPD) is a mood disorder that can affect women after childbirth. It's more intense and longer-lasting than the "baby blues" and can include deep sadness, anxiety, exhaustion, and difficulty caring for yourself or your baby. PPD is common, treatable, and not your fault.
How is postpartum depression different from the "baby blues"?
The baby blues typically last a few days to two weeks after birth and include mood swings, crying, and anxiety. Postpartum depression lasts longer, is more intense, and often requires professional support. If symptoms persist beyond two weeks, please reach out.
Can I get help even if I placed my baby for adoption?
Absolutely. Birth mothers experience a unique and profound grief after placement. Our counselors are experienced in supporting women through post-placement emotions, and we are here for you for as long as you need.
Is postpartum support available if I don't have insurance?
Yes. Many of our services are free. We also help connect you with Florida Medicaid, which covers postpartum care for eligible mothers, and community programs that offer support at no cost.
How long does postpartum support last?
As long as you need it. Some mothers need a few weeks of support; others benefit from ongoing counseling for months. We follow your lead and adjust as your needs change.
What if I'm having thoughts of harming myself?
Please reach out immediately. You can call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call or text 988), or go to your nearest emergency room. You can also contact us and we will help connect you with immediate care. You are not alone, and help is available right now.
