Why hydration matters:
✅Boosts Energy: Water helps transport nutrients throughout the body, keeping kids energized and ready to learn and play.
✅Supports Digestion: Staying hydrated aids digestion and prevents constipation.

Tips to encourage hydration:

Join us for our Substance Use Recovery Support for Perinatal Moms & Birthing People online support group 💙

This peer support group is for those from pregnancy to two years postpartum who are engaged in recovery or considering recovery from substance use disorders (SUD This is a meeting focused on recovery, meaning a goal of abstaining from use, excluding medications taken as prescribed. For people who are considering recovery or have had a slip, and have used the day of the meeting, listening and observing is welcome, rather than active participation. No diagnosis is needed to attend. The perinatal period brings about unique challenges for those trying to maintain sobriety, and this group is a space to share those experiences and receive support whether you’ve been sober for one day or one hundred days. Substance use disorders may include, but are not limited to, alcohol use disorder, opioid use disorder, and/or ma*****na use disorder. PSI recognizes SUD as a chronic illness of the brain from which we can recover and lead healthy lives, and we honor that there are multiple, unique pathways to recovery for each individual. We hope to support those on their recovery journey as they also navigate pregnancy and postpartum. We do not treat, diagnose, or conduct therapy in our sessions as the focus is peer support. These sessions would not be a replacement for therapy, addiction treatment, or medical care.
