The Northwest Indiana Center for Maternal Wellness is a non-profit offering education, peer support and resources to mothers and families struggling with Perinatal Mental Health Disorders. Our overall vision is to empower mothers to advocate for their mental, emotional and physical wellness at every stage of life.

​

A note from our Executive Director:

​

Hi! My name is Celeste Chapko and I live in Northwest Indiana with my husband and three children.​ I have been working with children and adults for 20+ years as a Music Therapist, Special Education Teacher, Birth Doula and now as a Perinatal Mental Health Therapist. I am a volunteer state coordinator for Postpartum Support International and am passionate about supporting mothers on their journey to wellness. My interest in Maternal Mental Health stems from my own personal experience with Postpartum Depression and Anxiety. I struggled for many years and had access to therapy and medication but was not aware of the benefits of peer support.  At the Center, we are passionate about supporting moms during pregnancy and postpartum and are excited to continue serving the Northwest Indiana community.

Our team includes 10+ volunteers who offer education and peer support services to moms struggling with their mental health. We connect moms to resources and support them on their motherhood journey. We offer many different types of support services, including 1:1 and group peer support, classes and social events. All services are free to Northwest Indiana moms.
