Do you remember the struggle of being a new or expecting parent confronting depression, anxiety or another perinatal mental health issue? Or have you suffered a perinatal loss, birth trauma, or experienced the NICU?

Do you remember the support you received, or are you wishing that you had better support? Do you want to support others who are going through it now?

Receiving and providing peer support is unique and powerful for both the volunteer and parent!

Come join our team of amazing Warm Line volunteers! We are looking for volunteers to offer support, find resources, share stories, and just listen.

đź“ŁJoin us this week for our webinar From Symptoms to Support: A Field Guide to Perinatal Mental Health led by Ash Choi.

đź’™Perinatal mental health conditions affect up to 1 in 5 birthing individuals, yet many go unrecognized and undiagnosed.

This session offers a practical field guide for identifying symptoms of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. During this webinar attendees will learn how to differentiate between common/"normal" adjustments, and symptoms/behaviors that warrant further assessment.

We will cover best practices when it comes to interventions, and review resources available to birthing individuals and/or their family members if needed. This webinar will translate clinical frameworks into actionable, real-world response strategies

đź’šDid you know that free, confidential emotional support and resources are just a phone call or text away?đź’š

Just like we found a therapist for this caller to ease their burden of a tireless search, we will quickly connect you with personalized resources, along with a compassionate listening ear from a peer who has experienced what you're going through. We always follow up after speaking with you, and also offer extended support, typically around 3 months or more.

Whether you’re having a hard day, feeling isolated, or just need to talk to someone who has also been through the emotional transition to parenthood, our Warm Line is a safe and judgment-free space. You don’t need to have a mental health diagnosis or be in crisis to call; if it’s hard, that’s reason enough.

We’re here for all parents and caregivers, and we’re proud to offer support in English and Spanish (se habla español).

You are not alone—and you don’t have to go through this alone either. We're here, and we’re listening.

With postpartum psychosis in the news, a lot of new parents might be having concerns, questions, and worries. But even with all the attention, perinatal and postpartum psychosis doesn't get talked about enough, and the silence makes it harder for people to talk about it, recognize it in themselves or someone they love.

The important thing to know is that perinatal psychosis is an emergency but with help it is completely treatable and one can recover.

If you or someone you know needs support, call or text PS-WA's Warm Line: 1-888-404-7763 (se habla español). You don't have to figure it out alone.

Right now a parent is out there struggling, feeling alone, and looking for support and understanding. Could you be the life line on the other end of the phone?

Come volunteer on our Warm Line and offer support, connection and understanding to parents.

Our Warm Line is staffed by parents who get the struggle, having been through their own perinatal mental health challenges. Warm Line Peers provide emotional support and create a space for parents to be truly heard. The power of peer support is simple but impactful: talking to another parent who has been through it reduces the isolation and stigma that many new parents feel.

We are currently recruiting new volunteers, come join our team of compassionate volunteers! We provide all the training you need!

Please join us for our next Warm Line Volunteer Training online on November 14 & 15 from 9am to 3:30pm. Register here TODAY! http://perinatalsupport.org/.../new-volunteer-training...
