Healthy Expectations — Free Peer Support for Pregnant & Postpartum Women (Denver, CO)
About This Group
Healthy Expectations is a free peer support group for pregnant and postpartum women, providing a safe and welcoming space to discuss the emotional and physical challenges of the perinatal period. Facilitated by trained peer support specialists, the group addresses topics like postpartum depression, anxiety, sleep deprivation, relationship changes, identity shifts, and the pressures of new motherhood. Healthy Expectations understands that pregnancy and the postpartum period can be both joyful and overwhelming, and that having a community of women who truly understand can make all the difference.
What to Expect
Healthy Expectations meets regularly and offers a structured yet warm group environment. Each session includes guided discussion, peer sharing, and evidence-based coping strategies for common perinatal challenges. Topics rotate based on the needs of the group and may include managing mood changes, bonding with your baby, navigating partner relationships after birth, returning to work, and self-care. The group is facilitated by women with lived experience in perinatal mental health, creating a uniquely understanding and nonjudgmental atmosphere.
Who It’s For
Pregnant and postpartum women at any stage — from early pregnancy through the first year after birth. Women experiencing perinatal mood disorders (depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD) are especially encouraged to attend. Partners and babies are welcome.
