Support new parents and strengthen families when it matters most.

In Sonoma County, nearly 600 women welcome a new baby while experiencing depression or anxiety every year. Behind each number is a mother, a family, and a future put at risk—not from lack of devotion, but from lack of access to care. 

Mothers Care provides vital mental health services for parents at this crucial time in their and their child’s lives. Through early intervention, cost-free therapy, and strong partnerships with healthcare providers, we ensure that families in Petaluma, Penngrove, and Cotati can thrive—not just survive— in the postpartum period. 

When you support a mother, you’re supporting an entire family. Your donation directly funds accessible, equitable behavioral health care for parents who might otherwise go without. This is an investment in families, in equity, and in a healthier community for generations to come. 

Together, we can close the care gap. Help us remove barriers, normalize perinatal mental health care, and make compassionate support a standard part of every birth journey in Sonoma County.

The Need:

• Less than 20% of the perinatal population are treated for maternal depression

• 41% of mothers in Sonoma County will experience anxiety or depression before, after, or during pregnancy

• 600+ parents experience postpartum depression
