About Nurtured TX
Our Mission
Here at Nurtured TX, our mission is to connect Texans to high-quality perinatal mental health care, education, and resources. We nurture support, hope, and recovery for those navigating perinatal mental health disorders.
Who We Are
Nurtured TX is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to nurturing perinatal mental health support before, during, and after pregnancy so all Texans can thrive. Nurtured TX, formerly known as the Pregnancy and Postpartum Health Alliance of Texas (PPHA), was started in 2011 in a collaboration between mothers in search of community and healing and mental health care professionals who specialize in PMHD treatment.
What We Do
Nurtured TX proudly serves Texas families through four core pillars:
Central Texas Connect to Care Program: Perhaps most notably, this program provides access to free therapy services to underserved individuals in the Central Texas community. It was specifically created to ensure financial barriers don't stand in the way of birthing people receiving essential Perinatal Mental Health Disorders (PMHD) care.
Support Groups: We host dedicated, safe spaces for healing and connection, offering specialized support groups for both moms and dads navigating the complexities of parenthood and mental health.
The Kristi’s List Provider Directory: We act as a vital resource for individuals and families by providing a comprehensive network of local providers who specialize in maternal mental health conditions.
Education & Advocacy: We are committed to raising awareness and educating the community. We offer continuing education courses for medical professionals, provide educational resources for the general public, and actively participate in healthcare seminars and conferences.
