Empowered Motherhood: Strategies for Emotional Wellness in Postpartum

Free
Calendar Next available session starts Jun 6, 2025 at 10 am

Empowered Motherhood is a four-week series designed to help expecting mothers navigate the challenges they may face during the early postpartum period.

While this class is not a treatment for Postpartum Depression, it aims to provide participants with an understanding of the normal emotions experienced during the postpartum period, often referred to as the "Baby Blues," and how to recognize when these feelings might indicate something more serious, such as Postpartum Depression. Participants will also gain tools to manage stress during pregnancy and the postpartum period, set boundaries with loved ones, ask for help, communicate their needs, and identify resources for additional support when needed.

Please ensure you arrive on time, as participants arriving more than 15 minutes late will not be admitted.

**This class is exclusively for expectant mothers. To foster a space for open sharing and vulnerability, partners are not permitted to attend. If the class is cancelled for any reason, participants will be notified promptly.**
