Beyond The Baby Blues is an organization based out of the Chicago area that provides free support groups for women suffering from perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (prenatal and postpartum depression and anxiety) and perinatal loss. Nancy Segall, their clinical director and one of the founders of Beyond The Baby Blues, is a social worker and Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Specialist. 

Founded in 2010 due to a lack of a support group in the community, Beyond The Baby Blues has led over 150  support groups for women. Since then, inquiries about their clinical services have grown, especially due to moving online since the onset of COVID-19. Pre-pandemic all services were offered in person in Evanston, Illinois, via their professional staff and therapists. Now that the groups are offered online, the geographic range of women who come to the organization for support has expanded, making it not always possible for all women to participate in person and making zoom an important tool. This challenge has made Beyond The Baby Blues leaders think more globally, deciding to maintain remote support groups to be able to serve the greatest number of women.
