Mental Health Initiative

Angie has a partnership with ReBlossom and their maternal mental health initiative, Athens Parent Wellbeing. She works together with APW to receive referrals for parents who need therapy, but are unable to afford the cost. Through a grant that APW received from Postpartum Support International and donations from community members and fundraising efforts, parents in need can receive a scholarship to cover all or part of the discounted rate of therapy services with Angie. The scholarship covers up to 8 sessions, with the option of an additional 8 sessions. Through this partnership Angie and APW hope to provide mental health services and resources to more families in need and increase maternal mental health awareness. If you are interested in learning more about the scholarship opportunities please check out the Athens Parent Wellbeing webpage.
