National Maternal Mental Health Hotline

The federal National Maternal Mental Health Hotline offers free, confidential 24/7 support by call, text, or chat for pregnant people, new parents, and family members. Counselors listen, share information, and help connect callers to local resources.

Reach the hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA (1-833-852-6262) in English and Spanish. It is not a substitute for 988 in a suicidal crisis, a boundary HRSA states clearly in its FAQ.

Save this number for nights and weekends when local warmlines are closed. LA County DHS PROMISE resources also point families to the same national line.
