HHS Launches Maternal Mental Health Hotline

 

On May 8th, HHS launched a new toll-free maternal mental health hotline for expecting and new mothers experiencing mental health challenges. The hotline offers an array of support, such as interventions from trained counselors who are culturally and trauma-informed. Additionally, the hotline will partner with community-based and telehealth providers as needed. Mothers can call or text 1-833-9-HELP4MOMS (1-833-943-5746) and connect with a counselor at no charge with a language preference option.
