Support Groups for Perinatal Depression

Use the drop down to select a support group that can assist women and their families to address perinatal depression (during pregnancy and after delivery). The support groups are listed alphabetically, in county order. HFS will periodically update this list as resources change.

Please contact the Department of Human Services Helpline at 1-800-843-6154, or 1-800-447-6404 TTY for additional information about resources in your area.

If you are aware of a perinatal depression support group in your area that is not listed, please send that information to the HFS Webmaster.

Illinois Moms, Babies and Families thank you for your help!
