Mental health challenges during pregnancy are difficult and often unexpected. We are often told that pregnancy should be one of the happiest times of our life; however, pregnancy can be very challenging. In this group, we often discuss the physical challenges of pregnancy, unwanted or unplanned pregnancies, anxiety about childbirth or postpartum, and complicated emotions around pregnancy. Our online group helps you connect with others, talk about your experience, and learn about helpful tools and resources. This group is for pregnant people only.
Note: This group is not for people processing the details and trauma of pregnancy and/or infant loss. Please join one of our Loss and Grief Support Groups for this important support.
PSI Support Groups
All of our groups are FREE and virtual. When registering for ShareWell for the first time, skip the unlimited offer on the payment page.
What to Expect
Our groups are 90 minutes (1.5 hours) in length. The first ~30 minutes is spent providing information, education, and establishing group guidelines. The next ~60 minutes is “talk time,” in which group members share and talk with each other. Group members must be present for the group guidelines before joining in the discussion or “talk time.”
Student and clinical observations are not allowed in our group spaces due to confidentiality and creating a safe space.
- Cameras are required during introductions for the safety of all group members. Please make sure your technology allows you to turn on your camera at least briefly for this portion of the session.
- The session will take place via Zoom (from the ShareWell website), so make sure your device is compatible with the Zoom app. This may require updating or downloading the Zoom app.
