The Queen's Family Health Team will be running a 6 week session starting soon and has some openings.

Life with a new baby is not always what is expected. Post-partum blues, or baby blues, are common. The program is laid out as follows:

• Week 1. Introductions and group share (as comfortable)
• Week 2. Coping with feelings of isolation
• Week 3. Myths and expectations of motherhood
• Week 4. Who am I now?
• Week 5. Self-care strategies
• Week 6. Wrap-up and takeaways
