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. View class flyer.

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

Some symptoms of Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) can affect anyone who is currently pregnant or has recently had a baby and who is experiencing:
• Feelings including anxious, guilty, alone, upset, sad, irritable, or disconnected.
• Trouble sleeping, eating, or bonding with your baby.

Early intervention is crucial to help individuals and their families for a healthy, long-lasting outcome.

This group meets on the 2nd Thursday of each month, from 12:30-1:30 pm, at the Samaritan Lebanon Community Hospital, 525 N Santiam Hwy, Lebanon.

Classes are free, and infants are welcome. Registration is welcome but not required!
