Five Things to Keep Close

1. Help does not wait for completion

Public emergency guidance and information for finding professional help require no purchase, completion or sign-in. Do not wait for a reply from Who Holds Mom in an emergency.

2. Choose a starting point, not a label

Mother, supporter, browse both—or skip the choice. Use the guide during pregnancy, after birth or when already concerned. You can complete it alone.

3. Your words stay your choice

Each adult’s progress and private entries are separate. Share only what you choose. Check who can access your device, files or printed copy; no shared participation is required.

4. Take it in small pieces

About 65 minutes per person for one essential path and a first plan; about 90 minutes to read both paths. Estimates, not deadlines. Extra tools, calls and appointments take additional time.

5. Keep a number and a sentence nearby

1-833-852-6262 — call or text for pregnancy/postpartum support and resources, 24/7; partners and family welcome.
