Maternal Mental Health & Emergency Hotlines
If you or someone you love is struggling with postpartum depression, anxiety, or experiencing a crisis, immediate help is available. There is no shame in reaching out—these services are free, confidential, and available 24/7.
National Maternal Mental Health Hotline: Call or text 1-833-TLC-MAMA (1-833-852-6262). Provides free, confidential support for parents before, during, and after pregnancy. Available in English and Spanish with interpreters for 60+ languages.
Massachusetts Behavioral Health Help Line (BHHL): Call, text, or chat 833-773-2445. Connects you directly to clinical help in MA. No health insurance is required.
National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: Call or text 988. Available 24/7 for immediate mental health crisis support.
Postpartum Support International (PSI): Call 1-800-944-4773 or text "Help" to 800-944-4773 for non-emergency peer support and connection to local perinatal mental health coordinators.
UMass Memorial Doula Program: UMass Memorial Medical Center actively integrates doulas into their maternity care teams to ensure birthing people feel welcomed, supported, and heard during labor and delivery.
MassHealth Doula Coverage: As a MassHealth-enrolled provider, I am thrilled that Massachusetts now covers doula services for eligible members during pregnancy, labor, and up to 12 months postpartum! If you have MassHealth, your doula care can be fully covered.
MCPAP for Moms (Massachusetts Child Psychiatry Access Program): While this is a provider-facing tool (855-MOM-MCPAP), it is vital for you to know about it. If you are struggling with your mental health, ask your OB/GYN, midwife, or pediatrician to utilize MCPAP for Moms. It connects your primary care provider directly with perinatal psychiatric specialists to quickly get you the treatment you need.
