Who We Are

Sol Well, Inc. is a community-rooted nonprofit (pending 501(c)(3) status) holding space for mothers of color navigating motherhood and mental health. Through culturally grounded care, storytelling, and community-rooted programming, we support the mental well-being of moms, centering their voices, experiences, and whole selves.

We’re committed to shifting culture, building community, and expanding consciousness and conversation. We envision a world where moms of color can heal out loud, without stigma or silence—a world where care systems are shaped by cultural humility, community wisdom, and connection.

That’s why we’re uplifting voices, advocating for change, laying the groundwork for clinical research, and providing community-centered support that prioritizes care for the mother’s mind and well-being. Because when a mom heals well, generations exhale.

Founded by Autumn Colon, Sol Well was built from lived experience, research, and a refusal to accept silence as the norm. We exist because healing doesn’t follow a six-week medical timeline—and care shouldn't either.

Right now, 75% of moms impacted by maternal mental health conditions go untreated. Black and Brown mothers face the steepest barriers, from cost and stigma to cultural disconnects in care. Sol Well centers moms beyond birth, beyond stigma, and beyond the outdated six-week checkup.

The Facts

75% of women impacted by maternal mental health conditions REMAIN UNTREATED, increasing the risk of long-term negative impacts on mothers, babies, and families. (MMH Task Force, 2020).
Most clinical research and interventions center perinatal and birthing outcomes, leaving a vast gap in long-term understanding, care models, and systems built for mothers of color beyond birth
The mental health care gap disproportionately affects Black and Brown women, leaving them underserved in crucial moments of their motherhood journey.
Over 50% of postpartum depression cases in women of color go undiagnosed or unreported, often due to screening tools that ignore cultural and physical expressions of distress (National Partnership for Women & Families, 2021).
Black mothers are 2x more likely to experience maternal mental health conditions, but half as likely to receive culturally responsive care—and many are never screened after the 6-week postpartum checkup (CDC, 2022).
Mental health challenges frequently emerge or worsen months or years after birth—with research showing increased depression, PTSD, and mental health-related hospitalizations up to 13 years postpartum (PMC, JAMA, 2023).
A longitudinal study reported that 28% of mothers experienced worsening depressive symptoms between six months and five years after giving birth—underscoring the need for ongoing mental health surveillance sciencedirect.com.
