Discussion on Resources.

North Idaho friends — 3 more weeks until the first North Idaho Pregnancy & Postpartum Support Group! If you are an expecting Mama, or in the postpartum period, this group is for you! We are greatly lacking mental health resources in the panhandle area, even more so when it comes to maternal mental health. I am grateful to Leanne and Kerry Green, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor

for getting this much-needed group going! Find the link here

North Idaho Pregnancy & Postpartum Support Group

As We Thrive Counseling Services, LLC, based out of Spokane, also runs a fantastic Perinatal Support Group: Pregnancy & Postpartum

on the 2nd Saturday of every month.

Postpartum Support International has numerous support groups via Zoom that are so, so good.

And for outpatient medication management, I have found a wonderful psychiatric nurse practitioner that sees patients via Zoom (as she is based in Boise), Kellie Northam, who is with Boise River Birth Center & Women’s Health and has additional training through PSI for perinatal mental health.

Mamas, use allllllll the resources!!

Please check the “Resources” page for more help if you haven’t done so already.
