Postpartum Rage Support Group! Completely free and virtual.

📣 New Online Support Group: Join us for Postpartum Rage Support for Moms and Birthing People!

Led by trained peer facilitators, our Postpartum Rage group is here to support moms and birthing people from 2 weeks-2 years postpartum experiencing episodes of intense anger and agitation. Postpartum Rage can look like a sudden explosion of anger, feeling overwhelmed or drowning, and/or being on edge or irritable to the point that these emotions impact your daily life. Postpartum rage is more common than we think and can produce feelings of isolation, guilt, and shame. We want you to know that you are not alone, and no diagnosis is needed to attend.

If you are beyond 2 years postpartum, check out our Support for Parents of One to Four Year Old Children group. The topic of anger and rage is often discussed in that space as well.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS GROUP IS FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE. We allow the first 16 group members to join. Thank you for understanding!

Maternal Rage is characterized by triggers highlighting violated expectations and unmet needs leading to feeling on edge, to the point where anger explodes outward or is suppressed inward. When the anger is expressed outward, the mother can feel shame and guilt, but the anger also acts as a catalyst for change. When the anger is suppressed inward, the mother feels increased resentment, more feelings of being on edge, and there is no outward signal that they need more support.

Maternal rage is more common than we think! You are not alone, and help is available.
