Josie's Grace is 4 week program*, attended 3 hours a week on Wednesday or Thursday, allowing new Mama's/Birthing Parents to navigate stress and fatigue while off-setting isolation in the fourth trimester. Isolation and lack of self-care put mothers and new parents at risk for developing or relapse of a mood or anxiety disorder. Early interventions can interrupt the cycle allowing for a smoother transition into motherhood. Caring for the mother during this vulnerable time will support optimal attachment within the new dyad, thus also generating positive impacts on the infants' health.
