Join Us for Connection and Healing
Our upcoming Postpartum Support Group is a safe and welcoming space specifically designed for women navigating the postpartum period and their little ones (ages 0-18 months) to attend. The transition to motherhood can feel overwhelming, and there is no need for women to navigate this experience alone. Join us with your child for connection, healing, and support.
This group is here to offer a judgment-free environment where you can share, connect, and gain support from other mothers who are also navigating postpartum. Whether you are struggling with emotional challenges, seeking advice, or simply looking to connect with others, this group aims to provide that support.
What to expect:
• A safe, confidential, nonjudgmental and supportive atmosphere
• Conversations on topics such as mental health, parenting, challenges
• Tips and resources to manage postpartum challenges
Healing practices to support self care and well-being
• A chance to build meaningful connections with other women who understand what you’re going through
Information and connection to community supports and resources (e.g. mental health, spiritual healing, postpartum support)
Fun practices and activities to support bonding with your little one
The group will be facilitated by Katelynn Carpenter, MSW, LCSW, and Teila Dupuis Miller, and is open to all moms with children ages 0-18 months. Little ones are welcome to attend but not required. Pre-registration is preferred but drop-ins are also welcome.
