We honor all babies and families impacted by pregnancy and infant loss today on Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day ??

Motherhood is a beautiful journey, but it’s also incredibly hard—and acknowledging that doesn’t take away from its beauty. In fact, by speaking openly about the challenges, we help normalize the experience and remind other moms that they’re not alone. Motherhood isn’t black and white. It’s a mixture of joy, exhaustion, love, and frustration. Talking about the difficult moments doesn’t mean you love your children any less, and it doesn’t make you a bad mom. It makes you real. At Phoenix Health, we believe in creating a space where moms feel supported, seen, and validated in all parts of their journey. If you're feeling overwhelmed or just need someone to talk to, we’re here to help. Let’s continue to support one another by speaking honestly about motherhood’s highs and lows. #MotherhoodJourney #MentalHealthSupport #MomsMatter #WorkingMoms #ParentingSupport #PerinatalMentalHealth #MaternalMentalHealth

?It’s not the kids. It’s... ?? The lack of village. ?? The pressure to be perfect. ?? The mental load. ?? The opinions and judgment. ?? The unsolicited advice. ?? The isolation. ?? The unseen sacrifices. Parenthood is full of joy, but what really makes it so taxing is all the?extras—the invisible weight parents carry. The demands, expectations, and pressure to do it all can make even the most rewarding moments feel overwhelming. At Phoenix Health, we understand the complexities of parenting and how it impacts mental health. That’s why we offer specialized support, including individual therapy and virtual support groups for parents navigating these challenges. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, burnout, or just need a space to be heard, we’re here for you. Because no parent should have to do this alone. ?? Interested in learning more?

September 30 is NICU Awareness Day?? Each year, about?10-15% of newborns?in the U.S. spend time in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). This is an emotionally taxing experience that can leave families feeling isolated, anxious, and overwhelmed. For NICU families, the journey is filled with medical challenges, uncertainty, and deep emotional stress. Many parents feel unprepared for the rollercoaster of emotions they experience while also navigating the complexities of their baby’s care. Today we honor those babies and families impacted by the NICU, as well as their healthcare providers who work hard to support them. If you've been impacted by the NICU, here are some resources that can help: ?? Postpartum Support International?offers?free online support groups?for NICU parents. ??March of Dimes?provides resources and community support for families. ??Phoenix Health offers individual therapy for families that are experiencing perinatal mental health concerns, including stress and mental health concerns related to a NICU stay. If you're a NICU parent or know someone who is, you're not alone.
