Spring is almost here - celebrate the new life in your life!
Join other new moms and their babies in an opportunity for support, advice, activity and long term connection.
Being a new mom is an amazing gift that comes with some challenges and isolation as well. Having a community of other mothers to share concerns and ideas with makes all the difference - now, and in the future!
Groups are six weeks in length.
They meet for a two hour facilitated session once a week and meet once again during the week - moms and babies only - for an activity or outing. The outings help you gain experience in getting out and about with your little ones in a supportive way and also helps moms get to know each other better socially.
Facilitated sessions are conversation based. We discuss many of the big issues facing new moms. Things like: practical concerns regarding sleep, feeding, comforting, and development. change of relationships, identity, working or not working, getting a break, childcare and allowing others to care for your baby, mom's physical recovery,local resources, and much more!
Groups continue to meet on their own as long as there is interest many groups stay together for years after their first sessions.
To register for a group please fill out the online registration form.
This gives me your information for the contact sheet I will make for each group to encourage outside of group communication.
You can pay at the time you register online, or you can bring your check made out to Support Group For Mothers, or I can accept credit card payments via SQUARE at the first session.
Please let me know if you have questions or concerns about any of this.
I look forward to seeing you and your beautiful babies in a group soon!

Support Group for Mothers offers facilitated support groups for first and 2nd time mothers in the East Bay.
This organization was founded by Sherry Reinhardt, more than 30 years ago, in response to her own challenges with motherhood and her desire to build community.
We are pleased to be continuing this work that we have found so valuable ourselves!
