Postpartum Support Group

Tuesday, May 6, 2025

3:00pm EDT - 4:00pm EDT   $25.00   Support Groups

Description

This support group meets weekly on Tuesdays at 3 PM ET. Are you a new mom/birthing parent (up to one year postpartum) struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD, or PTSD? You’re not alone. 1 in 5 new or expecting mothers/birthing people suffer from a PMAD (Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorder), otherwise known as postpartum depression. This group provides space for new moms/birthing parents to discuss the honest, real, and hard parts of motherhood – the parts that social media and baby commercials go to great lengths to avoid. The common feelings of guilt, shame, irritability, exhaustion, loneliness, hopelessness, panic, sadness, regret, longing for who you were before you became a parent, and many more. This weekly group is for those who want to find a safe space to share, heal, learn coping skills, and connect with others who are going through similar challenges.

About This Group

  • This virtual group has space for 7 expecting people to join.
  • This group is drop-in, so there is no obligation to attend every week. (But you are welcome to!)
  • This group is open to all LGBTQIA+ people. We ask that you share your preferred pronouns upon group introduction.

Discussion Topics

  • When pregnancy is not what you expected
  • Coping skills for anxiety and depression during pregnancy
  • Navigating relationships with your partner, family, and friends
  • Relationship with body and identity
  • Feelings of fear, remorse, regret, overwhelm, sadness and isolation
  • Hope and connection

Is this Group Right for Me?

This group is specifically for pregnant women/parents who are feeling anxious or depressed or who have a diagnosed perinatal mood or anxiety disorder (PMAD), such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD and/or bipolar disorder. This group is meant to support expecting moms/birthing people who are struggling with their mental health and are feeling anxious and overwhelmed by becoming a mother/parent. Both first-time moms/birthing people and non-first-time pregnant people are welcome.
