Perinatal and Postpartum Support

Caring for Parents, Nurturing Wellness, Fostering Connection

You’re not alone.

The perinatal period—from conception through the first year after birth—is a time of profound transition. While often portrayed as joyful, this journey can also bring emotional overwhelm, isolation, and distress. At the Webb Community Foundation, we understand that supporting mental health during this tender time is not a luxury—it’s essential.

 Understanding Perinatal Mental Health

Perinatal mental health disorders can affect anyone, regardless of background or birth experience. These are not signs of weakness or failure—they are common, treatable conditions that deserve attention and compassion. These may include:

• Postpartum Depression (PPD) – persistent sadness, withdrawal, guilt, or emotional numbness

• Perinatal Anxiety – racing thoughts, excessive worry about the baby’s health or parenting

• Postpartum OCD – intrusive thoughts or compulsions often focused on safety

• Postpartum PTSD – trauma symptoms following a difficult birth or medical emergency

• Postpartum Psychosis – a rare but serious condition involving hallucinations, delusions, or confusion

• Pregnancy or Birth-Related Grief – loss, miscarriage, or fertility struggles can also impact mental well-being

These challenges are more common than many realize—and they are valid, real, and treatable.

 The Power of Connection

Isolation increases risk. Support changes outcomes.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, unseen, or just not yourself, connecting with others who understand can be a powerful lifeline. Through peer support, therapeutic care, and educational workshops, the Webb Community Foundation fosters meaningful connections between parents, caregivers, and professionals.

We believe that when families are supported, communities thrive.

 Our Commitment

At the Webb Community Foundation, we are committed to:

• Providing access to free or low-cost support services

• Creating safe, inclusive spaces for all birthing experiences, including adoptive, surrogate, LGBTQ2S+ and solo parents

• Offering trauma-informed workshops and wellness groups facilitated by counsellors, perinatal professionals, and community educators

• Partnering with local professionals to integrate yoga, sound healing, nutrition, and therapeutic education into whole-family care

We walk alongside families—through the joyful moments and the heavy ones—because no one should navigate this alone.
