Mission:
WellMama provides support, information, advocacy, and access to appropriate treatment to women who may be suffering from perinatal mood or postpartum anxiety as well as mental health conditions related to all reproductive health events. WellMama is dedicated to raising community awareness of perinatal mental health. They do this by providing education on prevention, universal screening, and appropriate treatment and resources to women and the professionals who serve them.

Values :
• Accurate information and support for the emotional challenges of pregnancy, birth, and parenting is a matter of basic rights, social justice, and appropriate health care.
• Women and their families should never feel alone.
• Parents are never to blame for their depression, anxiety, or mood disorders, and they should receive understanding and compassion.
• Emotional support during pregnancy and after delivery is key to preventing the development of severe mood disorders, including postpartum depression.
• All families should have access to pregnancy and postpartum support services.
