Mental Health Resources
September 1, 2009
For some moms, online and phone coaching works really well. It supports and challenges them, and fits with their lifestyle. But sometimes, especially in times of real mental health crisis, online support is not enough. Here is a list of some alternate resources for moms who are experiencing untreated depression, anxiety, PPD, or other mental health issues.
NIMH site on Depression — gives general information about clinical depression and ideas about where to get help
Postpartum Support International — a great resource for moms with new babies
SAMHSA’s National Mental Health Information Center– provides a mental health services locator for all the U.S. states
National Suicide Prevention Lifelife — a toll free 24 hour number to call if you are thinking about hurting yourself
