๐Ÿ’™ November is National Adoption Month

Birth parents, just like adoptive parents, can experience Perinatal Mental Health Disorders (PMHDs), including depression and anxiety, during and after the adoption process. Feelings of grief, loss, and identity shifts can make this journey especially challenging โ€” yet these struggles often go unrecognized.

You are not alone. This National Adoption Month, we honor all parents in the adoption community and highlight the importance of support and connection.

๐Ÿ“ฃ Now available for ALL parents from pregnancy to 3 years postpartum: Substance Use Recovery Support for Parents Group โค๏ธ

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 is 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 youโ€™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 ma*****na 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.
