*Authors Note: This is by no means an exhaustive list, and many have overlapping links. Resources as far as therapy and lactation support will vary widely by region. These are sources I have personally vetted or were recommended by colleagues in the specific fields. Check with your local health departments, government entities, and coalitions for region specific- for DC/MD/ VA feel free to contact me to get help locating services.*
