Services
Telephone Support
Free support by phone for women experiencing emotional difficulties during postpartum or pregnancy. Moms are paired with a trained phone volunteer that has experienced similar difficulties. Volunteers listen, encourage, and provide peer support. Volunteers are not trained counselors and therefore do not provide counseling or psychotherapy services. If you need additional help, a volunteer will provide resources. Please call 314-644-7001 or toll free at 1-877-644-7001 for information on this service.
*Please note that this is not a hotline number, but someone will return your call within 24 hours. All calls are confidential. If it is a Friday after 5pm, your call will be returned on Monday, in addition, a holiday call will be returned the following business day. Email contact can also be made through our website.
Group Support
An informal peer support group for women experiencing emotional difficulties during postpartum or pregnancy. Support is offered by volunteers that have experienced similar difficulties in an open and welcoming atmosphere. Meetings are held in an environment where you may feel safe to express your feelings. Babies are welcome.

Testimonial
"Mother to Mother helped me when I was feeling very overwhelmed and rather lost after I brought my twins home from the hospital. I tell all of my friends, doctors, etc., about the organization and all that it does."
