What is this?
Support Built Around Recovery
The baby has arrived. Now who takes care of you?
Non-clinical postpartum support means someone dependable is in your home doing the things that make recovery possible: holding the baby so you can sleep, keeping the kitchen moving, steadying the routine, and paying attention to how you are actually doing.
Support is scheduled in daytime, evening, or overnight blocks and adjusted as the weeks progress.
