Postpartum Support Group

Our New Parent Support Group is led by Electra Byers, a certified perinatal mental health professional. This group is designed to provide a nurturing and supportive environment for new parents (6-week to 1 year postpartum) to share experiences, discuss common struggles, and receive emotional support from peers.

Members are welcome to bring their babies and join the circle on a yoga mat or chair. Groups are facilitated to follow a topic influenced by the needs of the group and to allow time for ample sharing. The general format includes check-in, mindfulness, introduction of topic, and discussion. Topics may include adjusting to life with a baby, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, boundaries, bonding with baby, invisible labor, returning to work, partner resentment, or changing roles and relationships.

This group aims to foster resilience, promote well-being, and build a strong community of support. Let’s connect, heal, and grow together in the journey of new parenthood.
