NEW MOM’S GROUP/PERINATAL/MATERNAL MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS
The decision to have a child is an exciting and yet sometimes scary experience. There is so much unknown and no real manual for raising the best little minds. Growing a family can also be an emotionally vulnerable time for a family filled with countless changes and uncertainties. Research shows that the healthy development of a child is directly impacted by their parents' mental well-being. I help you and your partner keep grounded in recognizing the joy of parenting while providing support to parents and families during the struggles with infertility & preconception period, throughout pregnancy, postpartum and beyond. Some changes that can emerge during this time include:
- Family Planning
- Infertility
- Miscarriage and Loss
- Adjusting to a New Role and Identity as Parents
- Marital and Relationship Changes
- Adjusting to the addition of siblings
- Prenatal and Postpartum Mood Changes: Depression, Anxiety, OCD, Psychosis
- Mood Changes: Depression, Anxiety due to infertility, Miscarriage and Loss
