Event Details

Getting Better Together: Postpartum Support Group for Moms provides peer support for moms who may be experiencing depression or anxiety during their transition to motherhood. These in person support groups are facilitated by VCU Health and VCU team members. We encourage you to take this time for yourself. To protect the privacy of other group members, we ask that family and friends not attend the group. If possible, have someone else care for your children during our virtual group.

If you have any questions, please call (804) 212-6107 and leave a message with your phone number and one of our team members will return your call.
