*Mom2Mom is a 6 week facilitated group which focuses on helping new moms build a community and meet other moms with babies with similar ages. The friendships that are formed are really quite amazing and most groups continue to meet for years to come on an informal basis. There is something about going through a shared experience, while recognizing that each mom’s experience is unique, that leads to great connection and support. We have found that moms are often most grateful for the perspective they gain from talking to other moms. The 6 week facilitated portion is a weekly 2 hour meeting where moms share their experiences, questions, concerns, and get tips on all sorts of topics, since this can be quite an overwhelming time for many moms. The moms all bring their babies, and so we also talk about how to connect with infants. We also provide psycho-education (as wanted) on different topics including infant development, sleep/feeding questions, changes in relationships and family dynamics, transition to motherhood, feelings re: going back to work or not, postpartum health, and identity as a mom. The group offers lots of support and perspective that can be especially helpful after some sleepless nights!*
