Our Cause.
SPARKS’ dedication to mothers and families reaches from its base in New York City to anywhere a mother can be found, in America and across oceans. From hormonal imbalances, Postpartum Depression (PPD), and emotional health, SPARKS strives to support the 1 in 5 women who suffer from perinatal disorders. Some suffer in silence, their family deteriorating while Mom is in bed crying. Others simply don’t bond with their baby, pushing him/her away. Some end up in the psychiatric ward of the hospital.
Our Mission.
SPARKS’ mission is to provide mothers and families who are suffering unnecessary pain with the proper care they deserve. 1 in 5 moms suffer from some form of a perinatal disorder. The organization was created to provide comprehensive, integrated services to meet the educational, psycho-social and psychiatric needs of women suffering from these illnesses.
We promote early detection with our new mom kits and seminars. Every mom that calls into our helpline is evaluated as an individual with a personal touch. Our goal is to keep the mom at home and give her the tools to be empowered. Thanks to SPARKS, these moms can once again experience the joys of motherhood, with love and warmth permeating their home.
