In 2007, one mother’s story became the beginning of something much bigger.

After experiencing severe postpartum depression, Kimberly Wong made a brave decision to speak out and create change. That decision led to the founding of Maternal Mental Health NOW, an organization built on compassion, advocacy, and the belief that no one should face pregnancy or postpartum challenges alone.

Since then, we’ve grown into a community that connects thousands of birthing parents, providers, and advocates offering education, resources, and a network of support for those navigating one of life’s most vulnerable transitions.

But our work is only possible because of people like you.

Your donations keep programs running, workshops available, and critical support accessible to families who need it most. Every dollar helps sustain the care, connection, and hope that started with one mother’s voice.

Together, we can ensure that every birthing parent gets the mental health support they deserve.

Donate today to keep our programs thriving and families supported. Link in bio.
