• Reflect on your parenting style and learn about others
• Look into your own childhood and how it impacts your parenting
• Learn by sharing with other new mothers

What to expect

Each small group is led by a counselor holding a master's degree in social work, counseling, or other related field and trained in emotional development and attachment theory. We meet weekly for eight weeks in 90 minute sessions and welcome all mothers and their babies (newborns up to 6 months).
