A women's health guide — curated by WOMO ← Back to WOMO

✦ The WOMO Resources Guide ✦

Every woman deserves
somewhere to start.

A thorough, vetted directory of resources for women's health. Crisis lines, reproductive care, mental health, maternal and postpartum support, and the organizations that have spent decades doing the work medicine has been slow to do. Everything here is free or accessible.

If You Need Help Right Now

You don't have to be alone tonight.

If you're in crisis — feeling unsafe, having thoughts of harming yourself, or experiencing violence — please reach out to one of the lines below. Trained counselors are available 24/7. Calls and texts are free and confidential.

These are organizations that have been doing the work for decades — long before WOMO existed. We list them because we believe in pointing women toward every resource that can help, not just our own. — WOMO Health

"There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about."

— Margaret J. Wheatley

Maternal & Postpartum Health

The year nobody warns you about has people who get it.

Pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding, and the years after are the most under-supported chapter of women's lives. The U.S. has the worst maternal mortality rate in the developed world — and Black women die at 3x the rate of white women. These organizations are working to change that.
