Postpartum Services / Wellness Wednesdays
Under the umbrella of “Wellness Wednesdays,” the Medical Center offers two “Moms’ Circles” to meet the social and therapeutic needs of mothers who may be struggling with symptoms of postpartum depression. Registration is encouraged for both “Moms’ Circles,” but walk-ins are welcome. Mothers can call 201-894-3784 to RSVP.
The first of the two “Moms’ Circles” is weekly support and social group, called Meet & Share. Led by an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), new mothers are encouraged to share their feelings and experiences. The group discusses a variety of health issues, and methods of meeting the emotional challenges of life with a newborn. Because this group is designed for socialization and support, babies are welcome and refreshments are served. Meet & Share meets every Wednesday in the Berrie Education Room at Englewood Hospital from 1:00 – 2:30 PM.
The second “Moms’ Circle” is a weekly Post-Partum Therapeutic Group for women experiencing symptoms of PPD. Women attending the small group meetings will receive help and treatment in a supportive environment. Coping strategies will be explored, and alternative treatments will also be discussed. Groups are led by an LCSW.The Post-Partum Therapeutic Group meets every Wednesday in the Berrie Education Room at Englewood Hospital from 3:00 – 4:30 PM.
