Cofounders
Shelley and Karen
We cofounded Wings for Wellness in June 2009 after both suffering from debilitating postpartum depression (PPD) and anxiety. We felt compelled to do something, in hopes of helping other women experiencing PPD (which affects 1 in 7 women). Most importantly, we wanted them to know...
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
THERE IS HOPE and
With Help, YOU WILL GET BETTER
Wings for Wellness is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Dallas, Texas. We are dedicated to helping women and their families overcome postpartum depression by raising awareness and providing support, resources and education.
We hosted an annual Pregnancy/New Mom Expo from 2012 - 2016 to raise Awareness and provide Education about the signs, symptoms and risk factors of PPD.
Currently, we offer a free Pre/Postpartum Support Group for new and expectant moms in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, which provides mom-to-mom support and encouragement and meets monthly (click here for more information). If you are in need of a therapist or psychiatrist, please click on the Resources tab in our main menu.
We welcome and greatly appreciate Donations, which allow us to continue fulfilling our mission of raising awareness and helping women and their families overcome PPD. Together we can prevent needless suffering and possibly even save a life.
Lastly, we dedicate our efforts to our friends and families who were there for us at our darkest times and inspire us to pay forward the invaluable support they gave to us.
