Giggles-n-Gulps

After having my son in 2005, I experienced a horrible bout of postpartum depression and I found no resources in the Christian community to help women like myself.  I felt led to found Out of the Valley Ministries, Inc. to support women who are suffering from postpartum mood disorders, as well as their families.  This is my calling, my passion and it makes every miserable second that I went through worth it and I would do it again in a heartbeat.  Please visit Out of the Valley for further information and wealth of resources to get on the road to recovery and support from your sisters in Christ.  There are many websites and PPD-related blogs listed in addition to the ones I have here! 

Also, please note that this ministry will FIRST and foremost point you to your healthcare provider for assistance in possible medication and counseling.  What you or your loved one is going through is not your fault, nor is it because of a lack of faith or prayer.  You WILL get through this and you are NOT alone.  Feel free to contact me at tara@outofthevalley.org for further information as well.
