There are many factors in a difficult postpartum adjustment - sleep deprivation, financial stress, grief over an unexpectedly difficult birth, a traumatic family history, and the high expectations of the mother and the society she lives in, being among some of them. 

The most effective help for postpartum anxiety is non-judgmental support from women who have been through it themselves. We work with new families during the postpartum period, to help them more fully enjoy the early days with their new baby.

We provide non-medical support and help to create a nurturing environment for the mother, her partner, and their new baby. We do not assume primary responsibility for the newborn, but we assist the mother and her partner in their new role as parents so they can more easily bond with and take care of their baby.
