The Emotional PPE Project is a volunteer-run U.S. nonprofit that connects healthcare providers—like midwives—with licensed therapists offering free, confidential tele‑therapy (typically two sessions). It removes barriers like cost, stigma, or licensing concerns by providing a directory of vetted, licensed clinicians across all 50 states. For midwives facing stress, grief, burnout, or emotional strain—especially during and after challenging births—this service offers a no‑insurance-needed, stigma‑free path to support.
