We’re building a better model for perinatal mental health support.

VillageFor was created to address a fundamental gap in maternal care: mental health support often arrives too late, lasts too briefly, and ends just as people need it most.

We believe perinatal mental health support should begin earlier, adapt over time, and exist beyond the walls of traditional clinical settings.

Why this matters

Perinatal mental health conditions are common, serious, and frequently overlooked.

  • Up to 20% of women experience mood or anxiety disorders during pregnancy, yet many symptoms go unrecognized or unsupported.

  • After birth, 1 in 5 women experience a postpartum mental health mood disorder, including anxiety and depression — with risk increasing in subsequent pregnancies, not just first-time parenthood.

Despite how common these experiences are, support is often limited to brief clinical moments, with inconsistent follow-up and little continuity as needs change over time.

The consequences are significant. Suicide and overdose are among the leading causes of death during the postpartum year, underscoring the urgency of earlier identification and sustained mental health support.

VillageFor was built to respond to this reality — by supporting mental health earlier and providing care that evolves across infertility, pregnancy, loss, and postpartum.

Our Story

VillageFor was founded by two moms  and longtime friends who both experienced postpartum mental health challenges and saw firsthand how easy it is to fall through the cracks.

Despite different personal journeys, we shared the same realization: there was no single place that supported mental health across the perinatal journey — or adapted as needs changed over time.

We built VillageFor to create what we wished existed: a trusted, preventative, and continuous source of mental health support.
