You've never heard of it because as far as we know we have the only one there is! It's a really great way to have low cost, individualized, supportive medication visits during pregnancy, postpartum or during early parenting. It was developed to meet the needs of people who are stable on medication and don't need check-ins more then monthly but who want more support and expertise during this time than they would get from their PCP or a quick refill visit somewhere else. It was modeled on Group Prenatal Care and is a great fit for the kind of care we provide: patient centered and holistic.
"This group has been a space to feel a part of a community of women who had the courage to open up about mental health struggles before, during, and after pregnancy. It's a space where showing up for yourself is not anti-motherhood. In this group, being witness to other mothers' experiences has helped me understand and normalize to the ways that hormonal and identity shifts are so intertwined. I also appreciate that this field of perinatal mental health and medication treatment is rare and so needed. I am grateful to be seen and taken seriously."
