Program Spotlight: Perinatal Peer Support

Check out the video below to learn more about the Perinatal Peer Support program offered by the Early Childhood Services team at CCN-RMHS!

Perinatal Peer Support is a new service designed specifically to assist pregnant and postpartum parents experiencing mood or anxiety challenges. The program connects parents with trained peer support providers – individuals who have personally navigated pregnancy or postpartum-related emotional challenges, and are ready to provide compassionate, judgement-free support. Among various objectives, the program aims to help new parents feel less alone, more understood, and better supported as they adjust to the demands and emotions of early parenthood.

To inquire about services, visit rmhsccn.org or call 802-775-2381.

Community Care Network is pleased to share that it has added Perinatal Peer Support to its suite of peer services, a new program designed specifically to assist pregnant and postpartum parents experiencing mood or anxiety challenges.

"We’re excited to add Perinatal Peer Support to our suite of other peer support services. Research shows that one in five parents struggle with perinatal mood and anxiety concerns, yet many do so without adequate support. We believe that this new service will help to counter these trends locally and provide additional, essential support resources for pregnant and postpartum parents throughout the greater Rutland community.” - Katelyn Jax, CCBHC Peer Support Supervisor with Community Care Network
