Having a child is a beautiful experience, but can be stressful as well. Mountain Home Montana has a diverse array of supports designed to provide expecting mothers with intensive wrap around supports to ensure a healthy pregnancy, delivery and postpartum period.
If you need help, we are here for you.
Mountain Home Montana staff members will help expecting mothers determine which birth option is right for them and their baby by taking mamas on tours of labor & delivery wards, birth centers, and connecting with a group of compassionate and experienced doulas. Our community center manager is passionate about healthy eating during pregnancy and will provide recipes and meal ideas to ensure a healthful diet for mama and baby.
Missoula County Public Health Nurses, Early Head Start, Partnership Health Center, Community Medical Center, and Providence St. Patrick Hospital are just a few of the community agencies Mountain Home Montana partners with to provide support and resources to mothers.
A team of case managers and support staff provide transportation and companionship during visits to the doctor and WIC appointments, support during and after birth, and breastfeeding consultations.
Work with a mental health professional to prepare for giving birth, bringing your baby home, and processing birth experiences.
Your journey as a mom will have many chapters. We hope to be a place of community with resources to help you navigate the most challenging moments. Here are some of the ways that we can help.
“Mountain Home helped me in many ways, but most of all, they helped me grow into the mother I always wanted to be. I took parenting classes and enjoyed learning how to be a gentle, respectful parent because I didn’t have good role models growing up. I learned that it was ok to make mistakes and ask for help. I was working through past trauma so when triggers happened, I could cope with them and be the best version of me that my children deserve.”
