Motherhood is a journey filled with highs and lows. The joy of holding your newborn is undeniable, but it often comes with challenges like anxiety, exhaustion, and feelings of isolation. Many new moms struggle quietly, unsure if what they’re going through is normal and hesitant to talk to those closest to them. For some it can be hard to open up to family or friends due to fears of judgment. While traditional therapy can be a valuable resource, it isn’t always the first choice for everyone. That’s where peer support comes in.
Research highlights the benefits of peer support in reducing symptoms of isolation and anxiety. Having someone who understands your struggles firsthand can make a huge difference. Peer supporters offer a listening ear and empathetic support without the fear of being judged, which can be incredibly comforting and validating.
