1st and 3rd Monday at 6PM (ET)/3PM (PT)
Join PSI-trained peer facilitators with lived and/or professional experience for a recovery-focused virtual gathering. This peer support group is for any parent (birthing or non-birthing) from pregnancy to three years postpartum who is engaged in recovery or considering recovery from substance use disorders (SUD). This is a meeting focused on recovery, meaning a goal of abstaining from use, excluding medications taken as prescribed. For people who are considering recovery or have had a slip and have used the day of the meeting, listening and observing are welcome, rather than active participation. No diagnosis is needed to attend. The perinatal period brings about unique challenges for those trying to maintain sobriety, and this group is a space to share those experiences and receive support, whether you’ve been sober for one day or one hundred days. Substance use disorders may include, but are not limited to, alcohol use disorder, opioid use disorder, and/or marijuana use disorder. PSI recognizes SUD as a chronic illness of the brain from which we can recover and lead healthy lives, and we honor that there are multiple, unique pathways to recovery for each individual. We hope to support those on their recovery journey as they also navigate pregnancy and postpartum. We do not treat, diagnose, or conduct therapy in our sessions, as the focus is peer support. These sessions would not be a replacement for therapy, addiction treatment, or medical care.
This group will take place on Zoom.

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.
