Group Support

This group is a welcoming place for women who are pregnant or up to one year postpartum and dealing with increased stress, anxiety, depression, or baby blues. Common topics include relationships changes, identity and role changes, self-care, mommy guilt, parenting, and how to cope effectively with the increased stress, difficult emotions and anxiety and depression that can come with pregnancy and new motherhood.

This time in our lives can lead to some isolation and loneliness and group is a safe and healthy space to get emotional support of other moms in similar situations.

Mothers who attend this group will:

• Learn about the emotional adjustment to motherhood
• Have an opportunity to share their authentic experience and hear the experience of other mothers in a safe and supportive environment
• Gain self-care and mindfulness skills to work toward balance
• Get information about common postpartum mood and anxiety disorders
• Build community and support by connecting with other moms

This group is held the first and third Thursday of each month from 5:30-6:30 pm. Please email shannonwilson@mwrcounseling.com to register for group or for more information.
