Having a baby is a joyous occasion, but it doesn’t always feel like it. You’ve probably heard the term “postpartum depression” — more accurately called perinatal depression and anxiety — but you might not realize how common it is. At least one in seven new moms will experience the condition, and 60% of the time it starts before or during pregnancy.
A great way to get support is to talk to people just like you. Our Virtual Perinatal Support Groups meet once a week for about 45 minutes, and offer you a chance to meet other new moms who are also struggling with mood changes or the transition to parenthood.
Sessions are free to attend, even if you aren’t a Community patient. You don’t even have to worry about registering — just email us at bhintegration@eCommunity.com for details on how to join:
Tuesdays at 11 a.m., hosted by Amber Smith, LCSW

You don’t have to face it alone. No matter where you live or where you get care, we hope you’ll join us!
