The Candlelit Care Approach

pregnancy

Black women are at a higher risk of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) before, during and up to a year after pregnancy.

We’re dedicated to making sure Black women and women of color are valued, seen and respected in healthcare. When we feel off balance mentally, it can feel easier to suffer in silence at work or home rather than seek help from professionals. That’s why we’re changing how women are screened, monitored and treated, especially when starting a family, to reduce their overall risk and symptoms of burnout, anxiety and depression through virtual consultations with licensed therapists.

Testimonial from the ladies

I thought it was useful. I really loved the idea of a birth plan. I think a lot of people think about what they want to do once they get to birth but never think about setting a plan from when you're first pregnant until after birth.

Candlelit Parent

I actually do really like the questions that are being asked here because these are questions that I need help figuring out.. so they're very thought provoking questions, which I like. I like that there's an option to read, listen or watch because sometimes I can't listen to stuff if I'm in a place and or looking at something on my phone.
