• When to seek professional support
• How to find a licensed therapist
• When you need a psychiatrist
• The benefits of support groups
• What you can do at home
• How family/friends can actually help

One of the many things that has helped uplift me and support my long term mental wellness has been completing daily devotion with the YouVersion Bible app. I’d love to stay connected with you throughout the week. If you’d like to join me in a motherhood focused Bible plan this week click the Bible plan link below.

If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis you can call the suicide and crisis lifeline at 988.

For mother's who are pregnant, a new parent, or of childbearing age you can call or text the national maternal mental health hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA (1-833-852-6262)

If you or someone you know is at immediate risk of harming yourself or others please call 9-1-1 to report a psychiatric emergency and request a Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Officer.
