Postpartum Support
Practical, nurturing daytime postpartum support to help families recover, rest and adjust to life with a new baby.
Community Collective
New Parent Harmony Community Collective
Support should be within reach.
The New Parent Harmony Community Collective helps make postpartum, feeding and sleep support, community events, and educational workshops more accessible to families who may otherwise face financial barriers.
Through grants, sponsorships, partnerships and community funding, the Collective helps subsidize professional support, provides reduced-cost or free educational opportunities, and creates ways for families to connect and feel supported.
- In-person support
- Montgomery County, Maryland and surrounding areas
- Virtual support
- Available nationwide
Support through the Collective is based on individual need, available funding and provider availability.

The process
How Collective Support Works
Step 1: Tell us what you need
Complete a short Request Support form and tell us a little about your family and the type of support that would help.
Step 2: We review what’s available
Requests are reviewed in the order received, based on current Collective funding and New Parent Harmony’s availability.
Step 3: We find an option that works
Support may be fully funded, partially funded, offered at a temporary reduced rate, or provided through free or reduced-cost community programming.
Step 4: Support begins
If we’re able to help, we’ll talk with you about what’s available and create a plan for your family.
No complicated paperwork. No competition over who needs help most.
The process is designed to be straightforward. You can tell us when the regular cost of services creates a barrier, and financial documentation generally isn’t required unless a specific grant or funding program requires it.
What we can offer depends on available funding, resources and provider availability.
