Those first weeks after bringing your baby home can feel like a blur. Between sleepless nights, constant feedings, and trying to figure out your baby’s cries, it can be overwhelming. You may be running on little sleep, trying to recover, and wondering if you’re doing everything right. Many moms feel this way, even if it doesn’t always look like it from the outside.
That’s why Okeechobee Healthy Start offers a free Postpartum Doula Program for all moms in Okeechobee County.
Our postpartum doulas provide in-home support during the early months after birth, when an extra set of hands and a little reassurance can make a big difference. They can help answer questions about newborn care, provide emotional support during the ups and downs of postpartum, and even help with light household tasks so you can focus on resting and caring for your baby.
We also understand that becoming a mom can bring a lot of emotions. That’s why we offer free counseling and monthly mom support groups led by a licensed therapist who specializes in maternal mental health. These groups give moms a safe space to talk, share experiences, and connect with others going through the same stage of life.
📅 Mom Support Group: Second Tuesday of every month at 10:30 AM👶 Children are welcome and can attend a free kids group during the session.
All services are completely free for postpartum moms living in Okeechobee County.
📞 Call Okeechobee Healthy Start at (863) 462-5877 to learn more or enroll.
Because every mom deserves support, encouragement, and someone who understands what this journey really feels like. 💛
