Perinatal Mental Health Matters
Mental health during pregnancy and after birth is an important part of overall health and well-being. In fact, approximately 1 in 5 moms, and 1 in 10 dads, may experience a mental health condition during pregnancy or within the first year after birth.
Becoming a parent can bring joy and excitement, but it can also bring challenges, including stress, anxiety, depression, and feelings of isolation. Many parents are unsure where to turn for support when they need it.
This page provides resources to support parent mental health. Whether you're looking for information, professional support, or simply someone to talk to, we're here to help connect you with resources and services in our community.
Or, call Perinatal Support Washington Warm Line at 1-888-404-7763. Trained staff and parent volunteers are available to answer calls live between 9am-4:30pm, Monday-Friday. On evenings and weekends, calls will be returned within 12 hours. Support in Spanish is available.
If you need immediate support, call or text the Washington Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988. Press 2 for Spanish. Press 4 for Native and Strong Lifeline.
