Partners in Mental Health: A Perinatal Mental Health Workshop for Expecting Couples
Virtual Workshop
2 Hour workshop
COST: $100 (+ service fee when purchased through Eventbrite)
NOTE: We want this workshop to be accessible for our community, so if the cost feels out of reach, please contact us to explore options.
We recommend registering between 20–40 weeks pregnant. This workshop is designed for couples, so we ask that both partners attend together.
This workshop is open to all residents of Ontario.
Topics we'll cover:
How to mentally prepare for birth so you feel more grounded and confident.
What to know about perinatal mental health (including common challenges and when to reach out for support).
Acknowledging the unique experiences of both birthing and non-birthing partners, so you can better understand each other and feel seen as you prepare for this transition together.
Exploring practical ways that non-birthing partners can support the birth process, both before and during labour.
Creating a birth guide together that helps you feel like a team going into this next chapter.
How to make informed decisions about your care, especially when things feel fast or stressful.
Simple, realistic strategies to prepare for birth and postpartum together, so you feel connected and supported as you welcome your baby.
Please note: This workshop is offered for educational purposes only. It is not a psychotherapy service and is therefore not eligible for reimbursement through extended health benefits plans.
Psychotherapy Groups
Becoming Us: Psychotherapy Group for Couples in the Transition to Parenthood
4- Week Group 2 Hours/Week · 20–40 Weeks Prenatal
In Person - Psychotherapy Services
This 4-week therapy group offers a supportive space for couples navigating pregnancy and the emotional transition to parenthood. Expectant partners will learn about common perinatal mental health concerns, explore strategies for coping with stress, strengthen communication, and practice conversation-based tools to stay connected before and after baby’s arrival.
Please Note: Psychotherapy groups offered through Liminalis Collective are hosted in partnership with one of the facilitators’ private practices—Activate Psychotherapy or Courtney Smyth Counselling. Registration and billing are handled through that practice. Psychotherapy groups may be eligible for coverage under your extended health benefits plan. Please confirm with your insurance provider prior to registering for the group whether your plan covers psychotherapy services and whether your partner/family members are covered under your plan.
