Mental Health America of Georgia’s Project Healthy Moms (PHM) program seeks to increase awareness, identification, treatment, and support of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders in Georgia, while also reducing the stigma associated with them. PHM’s initiatives include educational seminars for students, trainings and an online tool kit for healthcare providers, and perinatal peer support and resource linkage. In addition to an online resource list that is updated regularly, PHM provides a telephone and email-based Warmline through which a survivor of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders can provide emotional support and suggest appropriate resources.

Phone in to the free Project Healthy Moms Warmline at 1-800-933-9896 ext. 234 (toll-free), call the local number: 678-904-1966, or email them to contact a survivor of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders who can provide emotional support and suggest appropriate resources. Please leave a message when you call, and the Warmline facilitator will respond within 48 hours. Press 1 for Peer Support in Spanish.
