Services will vary but in general many provide low cost or free services like first ultrasound, pregnancy test, birth control, pregnancy education, abortion counseling, case management and more.

Maternal Mental Health
Maternal mental health(MMH) conditions are the most common complications of pregnancy and childbirth, affecting 1 in 5 women (800,000 women each year in the United States). Maternal mental health conditions include depression, anxiety disorders, obsessive- compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar illness (which may include psychotic symptoms), and substance use disorders. Taking care of you, helps you take care of them.

Many don’t know that men can experience pre- and postpartum depression and anxiety – around one in 10 fathers experience Paternal Postpartum Depression (PPPD) and up to 16% deal with an anxiety disorder during the weeks before and after birth. Check out some mental health resources for dad below.
