When mom feels supported,
the whole family thrives.
Join the movement to revolutionize maternal mental health care, one convesation at a time.
a message from our founder, Nicole lockhart
The data reflects that modern mothers are navigating a severe isolation crisis where 1 in 10 are raising children entirely unsupported. Most maternal support systems focus on postpartum care, yet emotional distress often begins during conception struggles, exist throughout pregnancy, and continue beyond a six-months check up.
Mable is building avenues to provide confidential mental health support that will deliver immediate responses to parents in need. With 3.6 million births in the U.S. last year, the potential population in need is enormous.
Mable meets mothers where they are — while delivering what AI cannot: real human counseling, evidence-based expertise, and genuine connection.
why it matters
Mothers often seek support not only for depression or anxiety, but for overwhelm, identity loss, relationship strain, guilt, isolation, career challenges, and the day-to-day emotional weight of caregiving.
Traditional mental health systems depend on a mother recognizing she needs help, finding a provider, scheduling an appointment, and overcoming stigma. Mable reduces those barriers by providing immediate, judgment-free support exactly when a mother is ready to reach out.
48% of mothers who needed support did not adequately receive it
93% of mothers say they experience caregiver burnout
Only 9% of mothers say that they are able to consistently prioritize their own well-being
A significant number of mothers struggle silently: 1 in 5 mothers told no one about their emotional difficulties.
who we currently serve
Spanning conception through parenting, Mable currently serves parents trying to conceive, who are currently pregnant, or have a child who is under 2 years of age. We are a national non-profit organization based in the United States.
how we use funding
our solution to the problem
Mable pairs human connection with simple technology, compassionate communication, and access to resources to help mothers with whatever needs they present to us. Mable is working to ensure that no mother has to navigate difficult moments alone at 2 AM when most support systems are unavailable.
By connecting with Mable, parents will be immediately connected to one of our trained volunteer maternity counselors. Counselors are trained with our specialized Mable methodology from our Mable Institute of Maternity Counseling. Every conversation with a mother is treated with respect and compassion, regardless of their situation or demographic background.
Partnering with Mable is an opportunity to tilt the scales back in a mother’s favor.

Mable provides 24/7 text-based support for mothers of young children. We support parents who are in pre-conception, currently pregnant, or have a child who is under 2 years old. Mable is here for when they need someone to listen, offer encouragement, and help them navigate challenging moments. While we you do not need to be a ‘mother’, our unique counseling method was created with caregivers who identify as such in mind.
