Mental Health & Family Wellness Resources
You don't have to navigate pregnancy or parenthood alone. Whether you're looking for emotional support, practical resources, or simply someone to talk to, we're here to help you find the care that's right for you.
Start Where You Are
I'm...
(And that's ok!)
If you are in immediate danger or experiencing a mental health emergency, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. If you are having thoughts of suicide, self-harm, or harming others, call the Postpartum Depression hotline at: 1-833-TLC-MAMA.
Rooted in Care is a
maternal mental health campaign presented by Pacific Birth Collective.
The campaign was born from what we see every day in our work with mothers and birthworkers across Hawaiʻi: both expected to give endlessly, while their own mental and emotional wellbeing is overlooked.
Rooted in Care was created to change that conversation.
The Rooted in Care campaign encompasses many of the programs PBC already delivers because we see maternal mental health as part of a carefully balanced ecosystem of care.
Through storytelling, education, community connection, and culturally grounded resources, the campaign brings maternal mental health into the open and reminds mothers - and those who support them - that they deserve care, support, and space to heal.
How can we support you today?
Looking for community?
Sometimes what we need most is to feel less alone. Pacific Birth Collective offers a variety of community-centered opportunities, from support groups and peer connection to bodywork clinics, wellness gatherings, and other spaces for mothers and families to connect and receive care.

Looking for practical help?
When the tangible parts of life are creating stress - food, essential mother/baby supplies, or the cost of birth support - that stress can affect your mental and emotional wellbeing.
You don't have to carry those burdens alone.
Farm to Mother provides eligible families with locally sourced food and diapers, wipes, and formula, helping ease the stress of keeping your family fed and supported.
Community Birth Project helps eligible families access birthworker support by reducing the financial barriers to doula and birth care.
Sometimes caring for your mental health starts with getting the practical support you need.
Looking for someone to talk to?
Meet one-on-one with a Navigator who can help you find the support you need.
Your Navigator can help you explore practical resources like food, household goods, and birthworker support, connect you with maternal mental health and therapy options when available, create a plan based on your family’s needs, and help connect you with services and community resources that fit your circumstances.
You don't have to figure it all out on your own. We're here to help you find a place to start.
Supporting someone I love
You don’t have to be a mother yourself to be part of someone’s support system. If you’re worried about a mother, partner, friend, or loved one, we can help you find ways to support them.
Please leave your information and we will get in touch.
I'm not sure what I need...
Not sure where to start? That’s okay. We don’t need to know exactly what we need, even if we can feel that is something.
Leave your information for us to get in touch and we can help you determine what support fits your family’s needs.
Birthworker Mental Health Is Maternal Mental Health.
The wellbeing of the people who care for mothers is part of the care mothers receive.
Birthworkers hold space for some of the most powerful, vulnerable, and transformative moments in a family’s life. We listen, advocate, support, witness, and care - often while navigating the emotional weight of this work ourselves.
At Pacific Birth Collective, we believe birthworker mental health is maternal mental health.
When birthworkers have access to support, connection, rest, and resources, they are better supported to care for the families who rely on them. Understanding what birthworkers are experiencing is an important part of building a healthier, more sustainable maternal health system in Hawaiʻi.
We Want to Hear From You
PBC is conducting a survey to better understand the mental health and wellbeing of birthworkers in Hawaiʻi.
We want to hear directly from the people doing this work about the realities of birthwork - including stress, burnout, emotional wellbeing, connection, support, and what helps you feel sustained in your work.
By understanding what birthworkers are experiencing and what support they need, we can help build stronger systems of care for the people who care for our mothers and families.
Your experience matters. Your voice can help shape what support looks like for birthworkers in Hawaiʻi.
