Weekly Support Groups

Parenting through Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorder can be really difficult and isolation plays a major role in the severity of symptoms. Our weekly support groups create an opportunity to connect with others who have similar lived experiences.

Our goal during this group is to:

Create a safe place to share your feelings and experiences
Reduce isolation by connecting with others in the community
Provide validation and encouragement

NICU PARENTS GROUP

VIRTUAL – Biweekly Mondays 2:00-3:30pm over Zoom

Led by a perinatal mental health facilitator experienced with NICU stays, this peer support group is for parents who are currently or previously experienced time in the NICU for any reason. Birthing parents and partners are both welcome to attend.

Experiences in the NICU are unique and complex, with parents of NICU babies being at increased risk of experiencing Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders and/or PTSD. Our group is a safe space for parents to connect with others with similar lived experiences and receive helpful resources.

PMAD SUPPORT GROUP (FACEBOOK)

Social support and a safe community is so important in the prevention and treatment of Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMAD). We are excited to be able to connect with new parents in an online capacity which hopefully will reduce the barriers birthing people face when they are struggling with Postpartum Depression and/or Anxiety.

This group is designed for both pregnant and postpartum birthing people who are struggling with their mental health. We welcome those who join us to share openly about how they’re feeling and find a strong sense of connection and support from others in the group.

Although this group does not replace the care from a professional mental health provider, it certainly is a positive addition to your own unique treatment plan.
