Perinatal Support Connections – Lebanon

Join the Perinatal Support Connections group, a welcoming and understanding community of parents who are currently navigating perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), also known as postpartum depression. Parenting can be difficult, and finding the right support is not always easy, but you are not alone. Help is available, and you will get better. This group provides early intervention for PMADs through education, resources, referrals, group sharing, self-healing activities and creating relationships with one another. See class flyer in English and Spanish.

This group is for perinatal parents who are either pregnant, recently given birth, or are 2 or more years postpartum.

• Feelings including anxious, guilty, alone, upset, sad, irritable or disconnected.
