    Are you a provider caring for pregnant or postpartum patients who are experiencing mental health challenges? The HRSA National Maternal Mental Health Hotline’s counselors are available 24/7 by phone and text to provide real-time emotional support, encouragement, information, and referrals. Your patients should be able to get the help and resources they need when they need it.

    @Rosha McCoy there was an article about the HRSA hotline in our local news recently! It said that since the hotline was launched 2 years ago, more than 33,000 women have called or texted for support.
