The first year postpartum can feel isolating. Finding other moms in the same stage of life who understand the ups and downs of new motherhood can be a critical step in finding your way and feeling secure in your role as a parent.

Mama Mind is a therapeutic support group formed in a collaboration between Milk Guide and Melissa Buddie, LCSW. Open to all moms in the Michiana area, including South Bend, Granger, Osceola, Mishawaka, and Niles, MI. No topic is off limits — we will dig into the emotions of breastfeeding, relating to your spouse postpartum, navigating baby blues, answering the “should I work?” question, and forming attachment. We learn about the postpartum brain and why negative thoughts have been living rent free in there, and what to do about it. We welcome first time moms and experienced moms alike.

Our group is always better when more people come to share their own experiences and learn from one another. Please contact me at info@melissabuddielcsw.com to learn more about our our upcoming plans to host the group.
