Welcome to postpartum health alliance
You are not alone!
Postpartum Depression, a catch-all term that includes anxiety and other mood disorders, is a public health problem that affects about one in 8 mothers. Women in low-income communities, especially Latinas and military moms, are at even higher risk of experiencing postpartum mood disorders. Whether you are a mom in crisis, a concerned friend or relative, or a health professional, we at Postpartum Health Alliance hope we can answer your questions and give you the assistance you require.

Please visit the Upcoming Events page and learn about the August conference scheduled in Los Angeles. Education credits are available for health professionals. Share information about this conference with pediatricians, ob-gyns, therapists, lactation specialists, birth educators, anybody you know who cares about and interact with new mothers.
