Mental & Emotional Wellness
Your health is important, too.
Supporting your mental and emotional wellness through pregnancy and beyond.
Becoming a parent is a profound journey—one filled with joy, love, and transformation. But it can also bring unexpected emotional challenges. At the Baby & Me Support Center, we’re here to remind you that we’re here for you.
If you’re experiencing any mental health symptoms that concern you, it’s important to talk with your provider for evaluation and support. This is especially true when distinguishing between the common “Baby Blues” and more serious conditions like Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs).
Recognizing the signs
Baby Blues (common and temporary)
- Mood swings, sadness, anxiety
- Feeling overwhelmed
- Trouble bonding with baby
- Typically resolves within 2 weeks
PMADs (more persistent and serious)
- Ongoing sadness, irritability, or hopelessness
- Loss of interest or joy
- Sleep and appetite changes
- Difficulty with hygiene or concentration
- Intrusive thoughts or fears, including thoughts of harm

Postpartum support group
Psychoeducation and support
As a postpartum mom, you’ve probably expected this time to be filled with great joy. Sometimes, though, you might experience lots of other emotions that are difficult. The objective of this group it to help normalize those emotions that accompany the transition to motherhood, whether you’re a first-time mom or already have other children.
Cost: Billable through insurance, co-payments may apply
For postpartum mothers within the first year of birth (babies are welcome!). Initial intake assessment by a psychotherapist is required. Not all insurance currently accepted.
Pregnancy & infant loss support group

The support group allows for conversation and support around first-time loss, multiple losses, pregnancy after loss, and impact of loss on you and your loved ones.
