resource guide

The Mom's Net Program is a program of The Mental Health Association in Niagara County, Inc. It is sponsored by Mt. St. Mary's Hospital, Niagara University, Eastern-Niagara Hospitals and Fidelis Care NY.

The goal of The Mom's Net Program is to bring awareness and education to women, families, Doctors and Health Care Providers about Postpartum Depression. The earlier Postpartum Depression is detected and treated the healthier the infant attachment and family system will be. Women and families who do not receive treatment for Postpartum Depression suffer severely. Without treatment for Postpartum Depression consequences can be devastating to the infant and mother.

The Mom's Net Program provides a Warm-Line, a Resource Guide, education, literature and screenings for moms, families and healthcare providers on Postpartum Depression. For more information or free materials please call 433-3780 ext. 312.
