Mom’s mood support group
Many women expect that becoming a mother will be one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences in life. But it can also be very difficult. Whether it’s your first child or your fourth, you may experience overwhelming emotional changes after childbirth. It’s not your fault and you are not alone.
Many moms experience these feelings before or after giving birth:
- Anger, irritability, anxiety or sadness
- Appetite or sleep difficulties
- Difficulty or lack of interest in bonding with your baby
- Feeling as if you are out of control
- Isolating from friends and family
- Senses of guilt, shame or hopelessness
- Thoughts or fears of hurting yourself or your baby
If you are experiencing these feelings, we can help. The women’s behavioral health program hosts a mom’s mood postpartum support group each week. This program is designed as a safe place for moms to get support and resources for coping with emotional concerns.
Our group meets on Mondays from 10:00am to 11:00am in suite 204 at our main campus.
Please let us know you are coming by calling (303) 360-3577. Telehealth is also available for joining the group remotely.
Babies and children who are not yet crawling or walking are welcome.
