 Online Zoom Group By Application Only

The Afterglow psychoeducational support group welcomes mothers who are having challenges with postpartum depression and/or anxiety to a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space to learn and process together. This is not a therapeutic group or mental health therapy. We will cover topics related to coping tools, self-care, what to expect, questions to ask your provider when considering medication, communicating with your partner, attachment with your baby, and healing through art. It is important that mothers band together to help each other on this rollercoaster ride of motherhood. 

Education pertains to the ‘baby blues’ and the emotional and biological changes that can occur after childbirth.

Therapeutic Skills include strategies such as mindfulness, meditation, trigger recognition and other cognitive behavioral coping skills. These modalities can help moms cope with the “baby blues” or perinatal depression/anxiety by reducing the symptoms of depression, building confidence, and increasing one’s quality of life.

Social Interaction and Connection. New motherhood can be isolating and foreign territory. Surrounding yourself with others experiencing similar challenges often lessens anxiety and improves confidence, as you realize you are not alone. We will discuss the highs and lows of motherhood and help each other to navigate the “newness” in a supportive space.
