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. Whether you are going through stress, adjustment to parenting, baby blues, pregnancy, or postpartum depression/anxiety, our groups are here for you. You are not alone, and we are here to help. 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)
2023-10-17 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.

Bipolar Support for Perinatal Moms and Birthing People
2023-10-17 17:00 - 18:00 | Online

Our perinatal (pregnancy & postpartum) bipolar support group for moms and birthing people is here to help those navigating symptoms of bipolar, like depression (lows) and mania (highs). Our online groups are here to help you connect with others, talk about your experience, and learn about helpful tools and resources. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to attend the group.
These groups are led by PSI-trained support group leaders who have lived experience and/or professional experience. They understand the emotional challenges of pregnancy and postpartum as a mom or birthing person living with bipolar disorder. Our groups are conducted using a peer-to-peer support model, and are not intended for those experiencing a mental health crisis. Please reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (1-800-273-8255) if you are in need of crisis support.
You are not alone. We are here to help.

Single Perinatal Parent Support
2023-10-19 10:00 - 11:00 | Online
1st & 3rd Thursdays at 1PM (EST) or 7PM (EST)
Single parenthood is challenging, especially during pregnancy and postpartum (perinatal period). Led by trained peer facilitators, this group is for perinatal single parents who are widowed, divorced, or never married or partnered with their co-parent, but they are caring for a baby (up to two years old) without a partner in their home. We know that single parents face unique challenges and obstacles that put them at a higher risk for experiencing depression, anxiety, and feelings of overwhelm during the pregnancy and postpartum, so this group is a space dedicated to discussing those specific challenges and finding support from those in similar situations. Having feelings of chronic low energy, anxiety, or sadness as a single parent may feel like the norm, but there are options for support. You are not alone, and we are here to help.

Support for Parents of High Needs Babies
2023-10-24 09:30 - 10:30 | Online
4th Tuesday of the Month 12:30PM EST/ 9:30AM PST
Led by trained peer facilitators, this group is for parents of “high need” newborns to 12-month-old babies. All babies have needs and depend on their caregivers, yet some babies have more needs than others. “High needs baby” is not a medical term or diagnosis, but it is a term used to describe babies with some of these characteristics: constant crying (for several hours in a row), difficult to soothe, and easily overstimulated. A highly sensitive or high-needs baby might not sleep without being held, might cry for three hours every evening, or might get restless and frustrated when transitioning from one environment to another. We know that parents of “colicky” or high-needs babies can feel isolated, exhausted, and overwhelmed. You are not alone, and we are here to help. Crying babies are welcome too!
If you are looking for a group for parenting a medically fragile baby or child, please check out our group specifically for those parents.
