Northwest PA Doulas is proud to participate in Erie's 2nd Annual Climb Out of the Darkness!
Lets connect with those in our community and stamp out the lonely darkness that consumes as many as 1 in 7 new parents. We're so excited to see you there!
Donate. Walk with us to represent the symbolic rise out of the darkness of maternal mental illness and into the light of hope and recovery.
Join moms, dads, partners, and families in our community as we fight the stigma and raise awareness of Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders. Your donations and support will help shine a light of hope so that fellow community members will receive better information and better treatment, and their new families will get off to the healthy, strong start they deserve.

I struggled before and after pregnancy with my mental health. It's a long story. One I will tell at length someday. For now, I'm so glad I'm not alone and that awareness is spreading and help is available for moms and new parents. You are not alone. It is not your fault. There is hope.
