As we close out 2025 and look ahead to 2026, your support helps ensure families don’t have to navigate these moments alone.

Our work in perinatal mental health is rooted in lived experience. For many on our team, including Kim, our Director of Perinatal Mental Health Equity, this path began with pregnancy loss. An experience that brings profound grief, unanswered questions, and vulnerability.

Like so many families, she searched for care that could truly hold the emotional weight of loss while honoring cultural realities. That care was difficult to find.

That lived experience is why Maternal Mental Health NOW exists, and why community-rooted, culturally responsive support matters.

✨ Thank you for being part of our 2025. ✨

This year, Maternal Mental Health NOW showed up for birthing people, families, providers, and our greater LA County community through education, advocacy, healing, and care.

Together, we brought meaningful work to life through:
• Baby Bumps – Storyectomy
• Strength in Tiny Steps
• SB 626 advocacy
• Pain to Power
• Black Birthworker Projects
• The Legal & Ethical Dilemmas in Perinatal Mental Health Conference
• The Q***r & Trans Perinatal Mental Health Conference
• LA Fires response—resources, care, and community support when it mattered most

None of this happens without you, our community, partners, supporters, and believers in care that is equitable, culturally responsive, and rooted in compassion.

💛 As we look toward 2026, we invite you to continue this work with us. Help us keep building a future where LA County is the best place to give birth.

As we approach a new year, one reality remains clear: too many families are still falling through the gaps of systems that were meant to support them.

Across Los Angeles County, families and birthworkers are navigating care structures that too often overlook cultural knowledge, lived experience, and the kind of long-term support that truly sustains families. At MMHN, we exist to help close those gaps by investing in the people closest to the work and trusting their leadership.✨

Through programs like our Black Birthworker Enrichment Fund, we provide trainings, tools, and resources that allow birthworkers to continue showing up for families across LA County with care that is culturally responsive and deeply rooted in trust.

✨ Let’s continue to make LA County the best place to give birth.
Make a year-end gift today through the link in our bio to help carry this work into the year ahead.

Motherhood doesn’t always follow the path we imagined. An early or emergency birth can change everything in an instant, especially when your journey includes time in the NICU.

At Strength in Tiny Steps, we honor that reality and the small, meaningful steps it takes to care for yourself while caring for your baby.

Our Mama-Centered group is a space where your mental and physical well-being comes first. We understand the complexities of the NICU journey and offer a safe, supportive community to share your birth story, learn gentle practices like baby massage, and feel truly seen.

Care that starts in community grows into connection 🤍

What began as a small pilot rooted in accessibility, affirmation, and cultural care has grown into a lifeline for pregnant and parenting people across LA County.

Through Sana Sana, hundreds of families have found support during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood, sometimes through a phone call, sometimes through a peer-support group, always through care that meets them where they are.

The numbers show growth.

The stories show impact.

The future depends on continued support.
