About Families exists so that no family in the Coachella Valley has to navigate pregnancy, postpartum, or early parenthood alone. We educate and support families through the emotional, mental, and physical experiences of this critical season of life, creating a village of care where families feel connected, informed, and supported. For more than 10 years, About Families has served the Coachella Valley as a trusted 501c3 nonprofit. Each month, our ongoing programs support approximately 50 families, reaching nearly 300 families every year, with hundreds more served through community events and special programs. These numbers represent real parents, caregivers, and children receiving the support they need during some of life’s most vulnerable and transformative moments. About Families was founded on the belief that strong families grow from strong communities. Research shows that peer support plays a vital role in maintaining mental wellness and reducing the impact of perinatal mood disorders. By bringing families together with knowledgeable professionals and with one another, we help reduce isolation, increase confidence, and strengthen family well-being. Your support makes it possible for About Families to offer essential programs, including: • Parent Support Groups – Creating safe spaces for shared experiences, emotional support, and mental wellness • Lactation Support – Helping families meet their infant feeding goals with compassionate, skilled guidance • Parent Education Classes – Empowering parents with evidence-based knowledge and practical tools • Co-Op Preschool – Supporting early childhood development while fostering parent connection and involvement • Community Pantry – Meeting immediate needs by providing essential supplies for families • Doula Matching – Connecting families with trusted birth and postpartum doulas, improving birth experiences and postpartum outcomes • Doula Training Programs – Expanding access to culturally responsive, community-based doulas in the Coachella Valley • Professional Trainings – Strengthening the care families receive by educating providers who support pregnant people and parents Our programs take a holistic approach to care, supporting the mind, body, and spirit of every family member. When parents are supported, children thrive and entire communities grow stronger. Your donation directly impacts families at a time when support matters most. Together, we can continue building a Coachella Valley where families feel supported, resilient, and never alone. 💛
About this page — why it exists, and what it does (and doesn't) do
This profile is provided by CV Giving Day — an initiative of Desert Community Foundation — as a benefit of participating in the Valley's day of giving. It makes About Families easy for AI assistants to find, understand, and recommend as more people research their giving through agents. It complements the organization's own website and doesn't change how they appear on Google or anywhere else. Run a Valley nonprofit?
