Welcome to the Brooklyn Post-Partum Depression Support Group site. If you or a mom you care about is suffering from PMADs (perinatal mood/anxiety disorders), while pregnant or post-partum, I offer information, education, resources, group support and individual therapy. I am also a certified Yoga and Meditation teacher with a holistic, individualized approach to healing. These services are provided by Melissa Paschke, LCSW.

October and November Meetings
Our next Brooklyn PPD Support meeting will be on Tuesday October 26 at 7 pm. The group generally meets on the 3rd Tuesday of every month -- but we had to make a scheduling change for October. November's meeting will be Tuesday, November 16.
Meetings are held at the Everyday Athlete, 136 Union Street between Columbia and Hicks streets (www.everydayathletestudio.com).
Participation is limited only to women experiencing a perinatal mood disorder -- we will gladly answer questions from family and supportive friends by telephone.
Participation is free but RSVPs are required -- even if you have come to a meeting in the past. If we don't get any participants by 5pm the day of the scheduled meeting, the meeting will be canceled.
If you are interested in attending, please be sure to RSVP to Molly (mollyatperyerdotorg; 917-549-6012) or Chris (motherthemother.chrisatyahoodotcom; 917-771-6359) by 5pm (preferably sooner) on the day of the meeting.
