Peer Support

Service Description

The peer support group is for pregnancy/mothering and everything in between. It is a specific group of pregnant mothers who use their own experiences to help other women identify and manage emotional needs during the perinatal period. This peer support group, unlike others that the founder has facilitated, is faith based but all are welcomed. It is a flexible and holistic approach that complements additional mental health services and can provide outcomes that differ from but support clinical care, using biblical principles and encouragement to draw strength from. Peer support groups can allow women to develop the tools to reducing feelings of loneliness, isolation, mum guilt and judgment. It can also help reduce distress, depression, anxiety, or fatigue. All participants will feel heard, understood and validated, they will learn skills and tools that can be self-administered to better deal with being and feeling overwhelmed by pregnancy, postpartum and the mothering period. It will complement your mental wellness rather than replicating or replacing mental health services that may still be needed.
