Having a child is one of the life’s greatest gifts and a limitless source of joy. Until it isn’t.
You’re stressed out, worn out and maybe a little scared about what’s happening. You may be having trouble making it through the days, much less the nights. Maybe you can’t even sleep. When overwhelming becomes unmanageable, you need someone to turn to.
This is the place where people know and understand what you are going through. Better yet, they are dedicated to helping you through what may be the most difficult time in your life. Together, we’ll help you get through this time.
We are a one-of-a-kind destination for perinatal mental health and wellness serving Florida and the Southeast.
Better Beginnings Mother/Baby Partial Hospitalization Program is a short-term, intensive outpatient day program for parents experiencing significant symptoms of depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorders and other perinatal mental health complications during pregnancy and/or after delivery; including post-adoption. Our program is unique in Florida and the Southeast in that it allows perinatal women to receive treatment in a setting that includes a nursery for baby. Our patients are encouraged to bring baby with them to reduce the burden of childcare and encourage positive bonding. Parents receive treatment that promotes bonding with baby, mental health healing and positive parenting.
