If you notice any of these symptoms, you may be experiencing birth trauma. If so, you are certainly not alone. It's been estimated that up to 1 in 3 women who give birth may experience birth trauma. This group is an 8-week confidential treatment group for birth trauma survivors led by a certified perinatal mental health expert. We will focus on topics such as self-care, trauma recovery, identifying and managing triggers, caring for your baby while being in your own healing process, and telling your story. The group meets virtually via Bluejeans, a confidential video meeting platform. We hope you will join-please call 215.829.5046 or email …
