New Mothers Support Group

NAMI x Care Ring New Mothers Support Group is a free, peer-led support group for any adult woman who is currently in the new stages of motherhood and experiencing a mental health condition, concern, or would like support in maintaining postive mental health. You will gain insight from hearing the challenges and successes of others, and the groups are led by trained leaders who’ve been there.

NAMI’s support groups are unique because they follow a structured model to ensure you and others in the group have an opportunity to be heard and to get what you need.

• Free of cost to participants
• Designed for female adults (18+)
• Open to women who are currently mothering a child 2 years or younger
• Led by people with mental health conditions
• No specific medical therapy or treatment is endorsed

By sharing your experiences in a safe and confidential setting, you can gain hope and feel a sense of connection. The group encourages empathy, productive discussion and a sense of community.

• Aim for better coping skills

• Not judge anyone’s pain
• Forgive ourselves and reject guilt
• Embrace humor as healthy
• Accept that we cannot solve every problem
• Understand that mental health conditions are no one’s fault and can be traumatic experiences
• Navigate the unique mental health circumstances associated with new motherhood and parenting children 2 years and younger

“… People can solve problems [at a NAMI Connection Recovery Support Group]. It isn’t just a bunch of sad stories; people are coming up with solutions and stuff to do for the next week. One of our group attendees is taking her meds and getting herself to her counselor and is just about able to go back to his career, in great part due to Connection.”

“NAMI Connection has enabled me to take a good look at my illness and see that I am not alone. The program has given me additional tools to not only accept my illness, but to help others along the way.”
