SUMMARY:Virtual Perinatal Mental Health Group
DESCRIPTION:This group is intended for pregnant and postpartum individuals up to 1 year postpartum. \n\n\n\nRegister Now \n\n\n\nHow do we take care of ourselves when we’re responsible 24 hours a day for someone else (or multiple someones)? It’s hard for everyone – and even harder when we’re also experiencing anxiety\, depression\, or other mental health challenges. You’re invited to join whether this is your first baby or you’ve done this before. You’re invited if you’re pregnant and curious about postpartum mental health\, or if you’ve already had your baby and you need support and information. You’re invited if you have a history of depression or anxiety and are worried about how postpartum will go for you. You’re invited if you’re struggling\, or if you just want to know more about boosting your mental health in pregnancy and postpartum.  \n\n\n\nFacilitator Molly Mendota has worked in the field of childbirth education and support for 20 years\, is trained in perinatal mood and anxiety support\, and is currently working towards licensure as a social worker. This group will provide peer support\, psychoeducation\, and mental health information and resources. It is not a therapy group\, but is a good supplement to individual therapy. After you register\, Molly will contact you for a brief phone conversation before your first group session to get a sense of your goals and needs.  \n\n\n\nThe group meets weekly on most Thursdays\, virtually. The link will be emailed to you after you register. You may come to one session or for as many as you like. Guest speakers will occasionally join the group. This group is 100% free for all and is currently funded by a Sophia Travis Grant from Monroe County Government. \n\n\n\nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Tandem Presents: Black Quilters: Hard Topics\, Soft Blows
DESCRIPTION:Tandem Presents: \n\n\n\nBlack Quilters: Hard Topics\, Soft Blows \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSupport Provided By Advancing Racial Equity (ARE) Speakers Bureau from Indiana Humanities\n\n\n\nJoin us for an evening with Tony Jean Dickerson\, Founding President of the Akoma Ntoso Modern Quilt Guild of Central Indiana \n\n\n\nEvent Highlights \n\n\n\n\nTalk by Tony Jean Dickerson\, Ed.D. followed by Q&A (Free) \n\n\n\nHonoring Black and Indigenous Midwifery Practice in North America (Free)\n\n\n\nQuilt Square Crafting Workshop (Free)\n\n\n\nMocktails ($)\n\n\n\nSilent Auction ($)\n\n\n\n\nPlease RSVP! \n\n\n\n\n\nTandem is in the final stages of its community quilt project. The quilts being made by community members will be hung at Tandem in birthing and postpartum rooms – to serve as a visual reminder of the supportive community welcoming the birth of new families in our community. The talk by Dr. Dickerson on the history and significance of quilts\, particularly rooted in the African American tradition\, holds immense importance for our community at Tandem. This topic offers a unique opportunity to deepen our understanding of cultural heritage\, social connections\, and the power of symbols\, aligning perfectly with the values and goals of our organization. \n\n\n\nEngaging in this talk will promote cultural awareness and sensitivity within our community. Understanding the history and significance of quilts in the African American tradition will broaden our perspectives and promote cross-cultural understanding and respect. The community quilt project itself is a testament to the power of collective effort and community bonding. Exploring the history of quilts within the African American tradition will further strengthen our sense of inclusivity\, creating a space where diverse voices and stories are honored and celebrated. By delving into the history of quilts\, participants will develop a deeper appreciation for the symbolism and meaning behind these creations. This newfound knowledge will enrich the experience of both creating and viewing the community quilts that will adorn our birthing and postpartum rooms.  \n\n\n\nIncorporating Dr. Dickerson’s talk into our community’s engagement with the Tandem quilt project amplifies the significance of the project itself. It adds layers of historical\, cultural\, and social meaning to the quilts\, making them not just visual artifacts but also powerful symbols of unity\, history\, and shared experiences. This talk will leave a lasting imprint on our community\, enhancing the impact of our organization and strengthening the bonds that tie us together. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Tony Jean Dickerson (she/her) was born and raised in Indianapolis\, Indiana\, and has earned degrees from Lincoln University\, University of Central Missouri\, and University of Missouri-Kansas City. In 2019\, after a successful thirty-year career in education she earned her doctorate in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies from the University of Kansas. She returned home in 2017 and became the lead faculty for Martin University’s School of Education’s Teacher Preparation Program in June of 2022. Besides teaching\, Dr. Dickerson is a nationally recognized quilter and is a member of 8 local and national quilt guilds including the founding president of the Akoma Ntoso Modern Quilt Guild of Central Indiana. \n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Perinatal Mental Health Support Group
DESCRIPTION:How do we take care of ourselves when we’re responsible 24 hours a day for someone else (or multiple someones)? It’s hard for everyone – and even harder when we’re also experiencing anxiety\, depression\, or other mental health challenges. You’re invited to join whether this is your first baby or you’ve done this before. You’re invited if you’re pregnant and curious about postpartum mental health\, or if you’ve already had your baby and you need support and information. You’re invited if you have a history of depression or anxiety and are worried about how postpartum will go for you. You’re invited if you’re struggling\, or if you just want to know more about boosting your mental health in pregnancy and postpartum.  \n\n\n\nFacilitator Molly Mendota has worked in the field of childbirth education and support for 20 years\, is trained in perinatal mood and anxiety support\, and is currently working towards licensure as a social worker. This group will provide peer support\, psychoeducation\, and mental health information and resources. It is not a therapy group\, but is a good supplement to individual therapy. After you register\, Molly will contact you for a brief phone conversation before your first group session to get a sense of your goals and needs.  \n\n\n\nThe group meets weekly on most Mondays\, in-person at Tandem. You may come to one session or for as many as you like. Guest speakers will occasionally join the group. This group is fully funded by the Community Catalyst Grant and is 100% free for all. \n\n\n\nThere is also now a separate group meeting on Thursdays\, in-person and a virtual group on Thursdays\, as well. \n\n\n\nRegister here: Perinatal Mental Health Support Group
