The Emotional Weight of Caregiving
October 8 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
October 8th, 2026 @ 2pm
Open to Perinatal, Infant, Parenting & Family-Serving Professionals.
A GPS peer support space for professionals who support pregnant, postpartum, infant, parenting, and caregiving families through periods of vulnerability, crisis, loss, trauma, and uncertainty.
Against the backdrop of the Lindsay Clancy trial and renewed attention to severe maternal mental illness and the systems responsible for supporting families, participants will have space to explore feelings of grief, fear, helplessness, responsibility, self-questioning, moral distress, or secondary emotional impact—and what it means to carry these experiences as professionals.
All professionals working with or alongside families are welcome, including mental health and behavioral health professionals, social workers, peer support specialists, community health workers, doulas, midwives, nurses, physicians and other healthcare professionals, lactation professionals, home visitors, early childhood and infant mental health professionals, case managers, family support specialists, educators, advocates, program staff, supervisors, leaders, and others whose work involves supporting parents, infants, children, or families.
