Housing
Short term housing to improve access to care:
We can offer short term housing in the last weeks of pregnancy and early weeks postpartum for families on wait lists for long term housing, or who travel from out of town into Austin to have their baby. Many families face traveling significant distances while in labor to their hospital or birth center. We offer housing for families before birth or after hospital discharge to give them tools to confidently return home.
Our location is:
-
10 minutes from a St. David’s Leander Hospital
-
20-30 minutes from 3 major hospitals with NICUs
-
15 minutes from the new Dell Children’s Hospital
Pregnancy & Postpartum Care
Support after trauma, loss or those with perinatal mental health needs:
After a difficult or traumatic delivery, families may be sent home within 24-48 hours after birth with anxiety, trauma and little preparation of how to care for themselves or their babies. These families need specialized postpartum care as they process their experiences and regain their confidence. We provide hands-on support for emotional and physical recovery, nursing and newborn care education from our team of postpartum doulas. When indicated we connect them with mental health professionals who can provide therapeutic support for families experiencing trauma, loss, or other perinatal mood disorders.
