Navigating Perinatal Mental Health as New Parents:
Bringing a new life into the world or discovering you're pregnant can be an overwhelmingly emotional experience, filled with excitement and joy. However, amidst the anticipation and celebration, there is also a sense of upheaval and emotional turmoil that can be difficult to navigate. Whether it's your first time becoming a mother or your fourth, the transition can be incredibly challenging.

WHAT ABOUT MOMMY SUPPORT GROUP-
A mommy support group is a safe and supportive space for mothers to connect and share their experiences, challenges, and successes with other moms. These groups focus on providing emotional support and practical advice related to parenting, self-care, and navigating the various challenges that come with motherhood. Moms can share their thoughts and feelings in a non-judgmental environment and receive validation and encouragement from their peers. Joining a mommy support group can help new moms combat feelings of isolation and build a sense of community with other mothers who are going through similar experiences. It can also be an opportunity to learn from others and gain new perspectives on motherhood.
