Postpartum Support Charleston – Maternal Mental Health Groups
About This Group
Postpartum Support Charleston offers peer support groups for mothers experiencing perinatal mood and anxiety disorders including postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, and pregnancy-related emotional challenges. Their groups provide a warm, understanding space where new and expectant mothers can connect with peers who understand what they’re going through, share coping strategies, and find hope during a vulnerable time.
What to Expect
Groups are peer-facilitated by trained volunteers who have personal experience with perinatal mood disorders. Sessions offer a variety of formats including traditional support groups, walking groups, gardening groups, yoga-based groups, and art therapy-inspired sessions. Each group creates space for sharing, learning, and connecting while normalizing the challenges of the perinatal period. Babies are welcome at all groups.
