Mental health struggles for moms are more common than you think; 1 in 7 women experience postpartum depression. Postpartum anxiety can also be a challenge for many women. Pregnant women can experience depression and anxiety as well.

The Maternal Health Alliance of Maine offers free support groups for pregnant and new mothers to come together, share experiences and support each other with respect, empathy and confidentiality. 

All groups are free of charge and facilitated by trained volunteers.
