Frequently Asked Questions
About Leto
Leto is a maternal health support platform for individuals and families navigating fertility challenges, pregnancy, loss, postpartum mental health, and parenting. Whether you're planning to conceive, coping with loss, or adjusting to life with a new child, Leto offers peer connection, expert guidance, and non-judgmental resources.
We offer a threefold support system: peer forums for sharing and connection, access to specialized practitioners such as OB/GYNs, fertility coaches, and therapists, and a curated resource library on sensitive maternal health topics often overlooked in traditional care models.
Peer Support
Peer support involves people with similar life experiences providing emotional, social, and practical help to each other. It’s grounded in mutual respect, shared understanding, and non-judgment.
Unlike professional therapy, peer support is non-clinical. It focuses on shared experience rather than diagnosis or treatment, and is often more informal and based on mutual support.
Anyone who shares similar experiences and has been trained in active listening, confidentiality, and support skills can be a peer supporter.
Our forums are safe, moderated spaces where users can connect anonymously or openly with others going through similar experiences. You can join topic-specific threads or start your own discussion.
No. Peer support provides emotional connection and validation from lived experience, but it is not a replacement for professional medical or mental health care. We always recommend speaking with a licensed provider for diagnosis or treatment.
Our community forums are moderated by trained peer leaders and mental health professionals to ensure conversations remain respectful, supportive, and safe for all.
Maternal Mental Health and Emotional Well-being
You are not alone. Our platform connects you with licensed perinatal mental health providers and supportive peers who have been there. If you are in crisis, we encourage you to seek immediate professional help or contact emergency services.
Yes. We recognize that many maternal health topics carry stigma. You can participate anonymously in forums and submit anonymous stories to help others feel less alone.

Resource Library
