Finding the right resources for yourself or your family isn't always easy, especially when you're navigating new experiences or looking for support.
I’ve gathered these guides, organizations, and podcasts in one place for parents and caregivers throughout Massachusetts.
You'll find my Westwood caregiver guide, a guide about supporting families with babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and additional maternal mental health and parenting resources.
I hope this page makes it easier to find what you're looking for and learn about the resources available to you.
Caregiver and NICU Guides
I've included two guides that you can explore or share with someone who might be interested.
The first is connected with resources for caregivers in Westwood, while the second focuses on supporting families with a baby in the NICU.
Both are listed below so you can find them without searching through different pages.
You may be looking for something related to your own family or trying to find information for a friend or loved one.
I encourage you to take a look at whichever guide is relevant to your circumstances.
Westwood Resources Caregiver Guide
I've included this guide for parents and caregivers interested in resources connected with the Westwood community.
You can access the guide using the download link below once it's available.
If you're interested in connecting with other caregivers and babies locally, you can also learn about Joyful Journeys, the free group I facilitate through the Westwood Public Library and Westwood Early Childhood Council.

Ways to Support a Family With a Baby in the NICU
Having a baby in the NICU is an experience that's personally meaningful to me. As a mom whose child was born prematurely, I recognize how important support can be for families during this time.
I've included this guide for people looking for information about supporting a family with a baby in the NICU.
You can access the guide using the download link below once it's available.

Organizations and Podcasts to Explore
Along with these guides, I've included several organizations and podcasts related to maternal mental health, family building, and parenting experiences.
I've separated them into two categories so you can find a particular organization or podcast without having to sort through a longer list.
Some may be relevant to your current circumstances, while others may be useful to know about for the future.
These are outside resources, separate from the services I provide through my practice.
If you're looking for individual counseling, you can also learn about my Individual Therapy services.
Organizations and Support
Here are the organizations and support resources I've included:
Postpartum Support International
Empty Arms Bereavement Support
Maternal Mental Health Hotline
All Paths Family Building
MGH Center for Women's Mental Health
You can visit each organization's approved website to learn more about its resources, services, and available information.
Because every family's situation is different, I encourage you to review the details directly and consider which resources may be relevant to your needs.
Links to approved organization pages will be added before publication.
Podcasts
I've also included three podcasts for parents and caregivers who enjoy listening to conversations related to family experiences and mental health.
Mom and Mind
So Glad You Asked
The Rare Life
You can explore these titles and choose episodes that interest you.
I've kept the podcast list separate from the organizations above so you can easily return to it whenever you're looking for something to listen to.
Links to approved podcast pages will be added before publication.
