POSTPARTUM PEER SUPPORT GROUPS 

Weekly Online Peer Support Groups

Mental health peer support services are considered an evidence-based mental health model of care. In meta-analyses, peer group participants have displayed a reduction in clinical symptoms of anxiety and depression and an increase in subjective quality of life as well as hope, self-esteem, and empowerment—factors also correlated with self-stigma.

Peer Support Groups are focused on providing emotional and social support, information, education, and practical help to each other. The groups are facilitated by trained mothers who walked in your shoes, who know the struggles, and who listen attentively with respect, acceptance, and encouragement. Through these support groups, we assist mothers in obtaining resources, overcoming barriers, making connections.  Motherhood can be a stressful life change, but mothers don't have to go it alone. A support group provides an opportunity for mothers to share personal experiences and feelings, coping strategies while also focusing on the positive sides of motherhood.
