It takes a village to support new parents, and the right training to build one. 🌿

We’re kicking off our Provider Training Spotlight Series with:

It Takes a Village

A 2-hour, self-paced online course built for anyone who shows up for birthing people and families.

Support groups are one of the most powerful tools we have for reducing isolation, building community, and creating space for healing during the perinatal period. This course gives you the skills to start and run one with confidence.

What you’ll learn:
📌 How to start & structure a perinatal mental health support group
📌 The power of storytelling & community agreement building
📌 How to create inclusive, culturally sensitive spaces
📌 How to navigate confidentiality & ethical group boundaries

This course was built for clinicians, doulas, midwives, therapists, birthworkers, and lactation consultants. Anyone committed to wrapping real support around families when they need it most.

Dear Lindsay Clancy...

Dear Lindsay, I first heard your story on January 25, 2023 when my sister-in-law called me in tears, fearful that at 5 months postpartum, she might experience a similar tragedy. My sister-in-law lives in Norwell, the town where I grew up, and two towns over from Duxbury. And I am the Executive Direc...

Meet Jessica Tomich Sorci, LMFT, PMH-C (she/her) 💛

What if the parts of you that feel hardest to love are actually trying to help?

That’s the question at the heart of Jessica’s work — and she’s been helping moms explore it for over 15 years.

Jessica is a Level 3 IFS Certified Therapist, IFSI Approved Clinical Consultant, and the creator of the Mom Parts Method, a specialized application of Internal Family Systems for maternal mental health. Her new book, When Good Moms Feel Bad: An Empowering Guide for Transforming Guilt, Anxiety and Anger into Compassion, Confidence and Connectedness (Balance, 2026), brings this work to moms and clinicians alike.

She also trains practitioners through her Mothercentered certification program and hosts an online community for moms navigating their own parts work — because this healing is better together.

We are so excited to have Jessica at the Whose Evidence? Conference this October. ✨

Postpartum doesn’t always look the way we expect. 💛

It doesn’t always look like crying. Sometimes it looks like feeling completely numb. Sometimes it feels like a racing mind at 3 a.m. Sometimes it looks like scrolling through photos of your baby and feeling nothing, and not understanding why.

If any of these feel familiar, this is for you. Swipe through to see 7 ways postpartum can show up, and know that every single one of them is valid, treatable, and not your fault.

You are not alone. Support is closer than you think.

At Maternal Mental Health NOW, we have free resources ready for you right now:

🌿 Sana Sana: Free peer support in English & Spanish

💙 Strength in Tiny Steps: Free weekly virtual group for Black mothers with NICU experience

🌈 Your Q***r Parenting Journey:Free weekly peer support for q***r parents in LA County

📱 MyCare App: Free emotional wellness self-help tool for every stage of the journey

Meet Dr. Tasnim Khan (she/her) 🌿

What does it actually take to close the gap between clinical care and the communities it’s meant to serve?

Dr. Tasnim Khan has spent her career finding out.

As Chief Medical Officer of Raya Health: a maternal health organization bridging clinical care and community-based support through doula services, care coordination, and technology-enabled infrastructure.

Dr. Khan leads from both the frontlines and the executive level.

Her work spans quality improvement, population health, health equity, and care transformation across diverse healthcare settings.

And her growing focus on how nontraditional care teams can identify risks earlier, improve continuity of care, and reduce disparities in maternal outcomes makes her one of the most important voices in this conversation right now.

We are honored to have Dr. Khan at the Whose Evidence? Conference this October. ✨
