Peer Support Groups

Emotional Wellness for New and Expecting Parents

Are you feeling overwhelmed? You are not alone!

As the first program of its kind in Palm Beach County, our emotional support groups are designed to support the one in five women who will experience depression and other mood and anxiety disorders before, during and after pregnancy.

Through screening, peer-to-peer support groups, individualized care coordination and training for health professionals, this program reaches both pregnant and postpartum families and promotes healthy moods, bonding strategies with babies, and how to cope with stress. 

HMHB provides a trusting atmosphere for mothers and their support partners to gain a better understanding of their emotions and focus on the mental health of themselves and their babies.

Training for Professionals and Students

In addition to support groups, we offer trainings to promote awareness about perinatal mental health. These trainings are designed for students, physicians, nurses, pregnancy care providers, mental health professionals, case managers, and any other professionals who support perinatal families.

In our trainings, participants learn about mental health disorders that occur in pregnancy and postpartum. The training provides tools and information to improve care for perinatal women who experience depression, anxiety, and other behavioral health concerns.

The training runs approximately 90 minutes - it is free to attend and CEU credits are available. Visit our calendar to register for the next training or contact Maternal Wellness Coordinator, Elais Perez at eperez@hmhbpbc.org to schedule a private presentation for a professional or student group.
