MIAMI SUPPORT GROUPS

Support groups for new and expecting mothers can be very beneficial for decreasing stress and reducing postpartum depression. By attending our Miami support groups, mothers are able to develop and strengthen relationships amongst their family members and their peers. This improves their social well-being, which in turn improves the overall health of themselves and their babies.

Parenthood will change your daily life into a very joyful journey, but it can also be a hard one. Social support can act as a resource for women to help them cope with and adapt to the stress in their lives. It can also reduce stress by increasing social interaction and having a place to talk about anything.

By attending a support group, women are able to work through any anxieties that may come along with being pregnant or raising a child. Often times, if someone in a relationship is unhealthy or not happy due to stress, this can cause the relationship to suffer. When women are healthier and happier, this emotion can be transferred and shared with her partner and her children. How children are treated by their parents can affect how they are able to function with and treat others down the road. Women with post-partum depression commonly have trouble bonding with their babies, which can lead to problems in mother-child relationships, as well as child-peer relationships. When women are healthier overall, their babies are better taken care of and their overall health is enhanced as well.
