Trained peer facilitators lead this group for any birthing person who has experienced trauma (mental and/or physical) during childbirth. Did you feel unsupported during childbirth? Did you feel unheard or felt a loss of control? Have you been grieving your birth experience? You deserve support. Birth trauma is based on your perception of the experience; no formal diagnosis is needed to join this group. Some common symptoms, but not all, that can occur after birth trauma are upsetting memories, avoiding talking about the event, and having negative thoughts/feelings about the event. You can be at any point post-delivery, from 1-week to many years. This group is specifically focused on birth trauma and connecting with others, so you can know that you are not alone and are not to blame. While your story has so much value, in this space, we will not explore birth story details as they could be triggering to others. We encourage you to contact a licensed healthcare provider (https://www.postpartum.net/get-help/provider-directory/) to process your birth story. In this group, we will discuss the effects of trauma, our emotions, and coping skills. We do not allow group observation by students or professionals.

Led by trained peer facilitators, this group is for birthing persons who have experienced birth and/or medical trauma while also grieving the death of their baby. This space acknowledges the weight of both realities: the physical and emotional impact of a traumatic birth and the grief of loss. You may have felt unheard, unsupported, or out of control during your childbirth experience. You may find yourself reliving moments, avoiding reminders, or carrying emotions that feel heavy. On top of that, you are navigating the deep pain of living without your child. You deserve a place where both your trauma and your loss are recognized and supported. Here, you are not alone, and you are not to blame. While we honor that your story has value, we do not process detailed birth stories in this space, as they can be triggering to others. Instead, we focus on understanding the effects of trauma, exploring emotions, sharing the unique challenges of grieving after birth trauma & loss, and practicing coping strategies together. This group is not for: - Partners or non-birthing parents - Those who experienced birth trauma without the loss of their baby (please join our Birth Trauma group for support) - Those who experienced pregnancy or infant loss without birth trauma (please join one of our dedicated loss groups) 🔔 PLEASE NOTE: THIS GROUP IS FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE.

We invite those who are no longer in active psychosis and in recovery to join for support, so that you can experience connection and support from other Pregnancy and Postpartum Psychosis (PPP) Survivors. This group is intended for those who are in recovery (no longer experiencing psychosis). Because PPP occurs less often than other perinatal mood disorders, survivors can go their whole lives without meeting another PPP survivor. In response, PSI has created an online peer-to-peer support group for PPP survivors. Like so many mental health emergencies, symptoms and individuals vary greatly, but PPP is generally marked by a loss of touch with reality. This can include symptoms such as mania, hallucinations, paranoia, and/or delusions. If you are looking for more information on PPP, please visit this webpage: https://www.postpartum.net/learn-more/postpartum-psychosis/. Whether your PPP experience was relatively recent or years ago, you are welcome to attend our free, online peer-to-peer support group. Our online groups are here to help you connect with other parents, talk about your experience, and learn about helpful tools and resources. If you are still experiencing psychosis or a mental health emergency, we encourage you to reach out to 988. We do not allow group observation by students or professionals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between PSI and ShareWell?
Postpartum Support International (PSI) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping families suffering from perinatal mental health issues. ShareWell is the technology platform that hosts PSI's online support groups. When you join a PSI group on ShareWell, you're accessing PSI's expert-designed programming through our secure, user-friendly platform.
Who leads PSI support groups?
PSI support groups are facilitated by trained peer supporters who have lived experience with perinatal mental health challenges. These facilitators complete PSI's comprehensive training program and understand what Help Seekers are going through because they've been there themselves.
Are PSI groups really always free?
Yes, absolutely! All PSI support groups on ShareWell are 100% free forever. There are no hidden fees, no credit cards required, and no paywalls. PSI believes that Help Seekers should have access to support regardless of their financial situation.
Do I need special software to join groups?
All PSI groups are held via Zoom, which you can access directly through your web browser or by downloading the free Zoom app. You'll need a device with a camera and microphone, as cameras are required during introductions for the safety and comfort of all group members.
What else is available on ShareWell?
Beyond PSI groups, ShareWell offers support groups for many other topics including anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma recovery, and more. Help Seekers can explore all available groups once they create their free ShareWell account, giving them access to a broader community of peer support.
What does PSI mean by "Help Seekers"?
"Help Seekers" is PSI's term for anyone looking for support with perinatal mental health challenges. This includes pregnant people, new parents, partners, and family members who are seeking help, resources, or community during the perinatal period.
How many people can join each group?
Each PSI group accommodates up to 16 Help Seekers. Groups fill on a first-come, first-served basis, so we recommend arriving on time. Once we reach capacity OR talk time begins, the group will be closed to new participants for that session.
How is my privacy protected?
PSI groups maintain strict confidentiality guidelines. What's shared in the group stays in the group. No student or clinical observations are allowed, and all participants agree to group guidelines before joining the discussion portion of each session.
