About the group

Our monthly online support group is a safe space for immigrant, international, multicultural, or multilingual moms* living in Germany and being away from home. It offers a place to make connections, share experiences with other mothers*, and talk about parenting, migration, mental health, and more. The group also acts as a warmline for those struggling with mental health during the perinatal period (before, during, and after pregnancy), or for those concerned about someone else.

This group is facilitated by a rotating team of facilitators. You can read about our team here. As volunteers, we listen safely, confidentially, and without judgment, answering questions, offering encouragement, and sharing information about Afloat’s mission, other groups, and navigating the German healthcare system.

Disclaimer: Please note that this group is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment by a psychotherapist or psychiatrist. We are a peer to peer support group and a hub to connect you with health care professionals and other service providers around pregnancy and motherhood*. We do not handle psychiatric emergencies.

Join us and make lasting connections !
