Maternal Mental Health of East Texas

I just can't say enough how much I love PSI!! They offer so many incredible resources, including free online support groups!
Including this new group, offered at 12:30 AM CST for parents that are up at night and need support!!

I have the incredible privilege of being a facilitator for one of the PSI groups and I can tell you that they are really amazing! The people who show up offer the most compassionate support and understanding to each other. I'm touched each time and am so grateful.

If you aren't sure about a group setting, no fear... you don't have to talk or take yourself off camera other than a brief intro. Or you can share your heart out!!

PSI has over 50 groups, each with specialized facilitators to address perinatal specific dynamics.

Check out the offerings and join a group!

If you're working nights, in a different time zone, or just up in the middle of the night with your baby and want to talk to other parents who get it....there's a group for that 🌙

Starting on May 20, we are adding a new time for our Perinatal Mood Support for Moms and Birthing People Support Group 💙 You'll be able to join group at 1:30 am Eastern Time on the 1st & 3rd Wednesdays of the month.

PSI Support groups are online, confidential, and always free.

The Mourning Forecast is an incredible resource in East Texas that offers services for families that are experiencing grief related to pregnancy and infant loss.
They step into a space that is often overlooked so parents are not suffering in silence and confusion.
Susan McElroy uses her incredible photography skills to offer bereavement photography to preserve those precious lat moments.
They offer families support and resources as they step into this unwanted world of grief.
Many professionals of different walks come in contact with parents during pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum so The Mourning Forecast offers training and education on bereavement and photography.

Susan McElroy and Erica Spiers stepped in to fill in a much needed gap for East Texas and I hope you consider supporting their mission to wrap around parents in grief this East Texas Giving Day!

The first workshop of 2026 will be our Religious Trauma Workshop led by Brooke McLain.

One part of parenting that can come as a surprise is the impact on deepening and exploring our faith and past religious experiences. Bringing kids into the mix can reveal wounds we weren't aware of. This workshop is designed to make space for those wounds, questions, and explorations.

There will be no religious or spiritual directing during our time together. It will be a time of gentle discovery and permission to feel. We are not here to tell you what to believe or feel, only help you make sense of what you already have experienced and feel in connection with your beliefs.

When: Saturday January 24th, 1-4 PM
Where: MMHETX Tyler office
100 Independence Place, Suite 201
Tyler, Texas 75703
Register: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1964495643352?aff=oddtdtcreator or scan the QR code in the graphic
Note- this group is limited to 6 members, so don't hesitate to register today!

The Tyler Walk out of the Darkness event is always so deep and meaningful.
It’s a space of hope and pain, joy and grief. Laughters and tears.

I was able to stand in the bead ceremony for someone else who lost a dear friend to su***de as a result of postpartum depression. The thought of su***de can feel so overwhelming and scary AND I witnessed so much hope today. What an honor to be in the presence of such vulnerability and bravery as people shared their own pain and their own hope and fight.

The walk is to connect survivors and loved ones of those who have been impacted by su***de. It is also to raise funds for American Foundation for Su***de Prevention… please consider donating to this amazing organization. Every little bit helps bring light to the darkness that so many are battling in silence.

It’s okay to not be okay AND it doesn’t have to stay that way. ⁣

Motherhood can be hard and you deserve support. ⁣
