Led by trained South Asian peer facilitators, this group is for anyone who is pregnant or postpartum (up to two years) and identifies as South Asian or South Asian American. There is no definition or level of being “enough South Asian.” All pregnant and postpartum moms who have a biological, familial connection to South Asia (India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, & Afghanistan) are welcome. Our online groups are here to help you connect with other parents, talk about your experience, and learn about helpful tools and resources. Whether you are going through stress, adjustment to parenting, baby blues, or pregnancy or postpartum depression/anxiety, our groups are here for you. This group is in English, so group members will benefit most if they can understand and speak some English (perfection is not required!). You are not alone, and we are here to help.

Black Moms Connect
2023-05-09 16:30 - 17:30 | Online
Every Tuesday 7:30pm ET/4:30pm PT

This group is for anyone pregnant or postpartum (up to two years) and identifies as Black or African-American. There is no definition or level of being “Black enough.” Pregnant and postpartum moms with a biological connection to the African diaspora (African Americans, Afro-Caribbeans, Afro-Latin Americans, Black Canadians, etc.) are welcomed. This is a space for Black mothers to connect, discuss their experiences, and learn helpful tools and resources.

We do not allow group observation by students or professionals. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Pregnancy and Postpartum Psychosis Support for Survivors (Moms and Birthing People)
2023-05-09 16:30 - 17:30 | Online
Monday’s at 4:30 PM PT/ 7:30 PM ET

We invite those who are no longer in active psychosis and in recovery to join for support, so that you can experience connection and support from other Pregnancy and Postpartum Psychosis (PPP) Survivors. This group is intended for those who are in recovery (no longer experiencing psychosis). Because PPP occurs less often than other perinatal mood disorders, survivors can go their whole lives without meeting another PPP survivor. In response, PSI has created an online peer-to-peer support group for PPP survivors. Like so many mental health emergencies, symptoms and individuals vary greatly, but PPP is generally marked by a loss of touch with reality. This can include symptoms such as mania, hallucinations, paranoia, and/or delusions. If you are looking for more information on PPP, please visit this webpage. Whether your PPP experience was relatively recent or years ago, you are welcome to attend our free, online peer-to-peer support group. Our online groups are here to help you connect with other parents, talk about your experience, and learn about helpful tools and resources. If you are still experiencing psychosis or a mental health emergency, we encourage you to reach out to 988.

Perinatal OCD Support for Moms
2023-05-09 17:30 - 18:30 | Online
Every Tuesday @ 8:30pm ET/5:30pm PT

Our perinatal (pregnancy & postpartum) OCD group for moms is here to help those dealing with symptoms of OCD; like intrusive thoughts, obsessions and compulsions. Our online groups are here to help you connect with other moms, talk about your experience, and learn about helpful tools and resources. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to attend the group.
Held in partnership with the International OCD Foundation, these groups are led by PSI-trained support group leaders who have lived experience. They understand the emotional challenges of pregnancy and postpartum as a mom with OCD. You are not alone. We are here to help.

For any and all parents. We are in partnership with the Village Circle. The difference we have from Village Circle is we are all genders, and welcome couples and dads. You don’t need to be a new parent, as we have parents with many older children as well. The only qualification is that you are a parent, are human, and have hard feelings sometimes that could use a safe container to be expressed.
