We built this because we needed it and couldn't find it.

Christy Davis · Co-founder & CEO

She had every sign. She carried it alone.

Christy had all the signs — postpartum anxiety, intrusive thoughts, OCD, depression. She went to her six-week appointment. She saw the questions. She didn't answer them honestly. Not because she didn't want help. Because the shame felt louder than the struggle.

When she finally tried to get help, the system made it nearly impossible. No providers in-network. No specialists. Months of waitlists. She didn't get what she needed when she needed it — and she never forgot what that felt like.

Cait Probst · Co-founder & President

She didn't know what was happening to her.

Cait spent months asking herself what was wrong with her. The emptiness crept in slowly. The rage came out of nowhere. She didn't connect any of it to postpartum depression — because nobody had given her the language to recognize it.

So she white-knuckled through weeks she didn't have to. She missed time with her son she'll never get back. Not because she didn't love him. Because the system didn't do its job educating her.

Christy couldn't get help when she asked for it. Cait didn't even know to ask. Two completely different roads to the same place — alone, unsupported, and trying to hold it together through one of the hardest seasons of their lives.

They started talking. And they realized their stories weren't unique. They were everywhere.

We see it in the news. A mother, a family, a tragedy that didn't have to happen. Stories that make headlines for a day and then disappear — but the pain behind them doesn't. Untreated postpartum depression and anxiety don't just affect the mom in front of you. They ripple. They affect how children grow up, how families stay together, how generations understand what it means to be a mother.

The cost of failing mothers is not just personal. It is generational.

experience a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder. Most never get the support they need.

Not because they don't want it. Because the system wasn't built with them in mind. Because providers don't have time. Because there aren't enough specialists. Because the shame keeps moms quiet and the waitlists turn them away when they finally speak up.

Women are being failed. Over and over. At one of the most critical moments of their lives and their children's lives. VillageFor was built because that cannot keep being the answer.

So we built it

The tool they wished had existed. Built so no mom has to go without it.

Mental wellness for every motherhood journey. That is not just a tagline. It is what we wake up thinking about every single day.

Because we believe every woman can thrive in motherhood — not just survive it — when she has the right support and the right tools.

Built with the best

The people who helped us get it right.

The people who helped build VillageFor aren't just experts in maternal health. They are mothers. They have felt the gap from both sides of the table — as clinicians who couldn't give their patients enough, and as moms who didn't get enough themselves.
