Support Groups For 2nd Time Moms Click here to register for a group Support groups for second time moms meet for 8 facilitated sessions and then can continue to meet after that for as long as there is interest and ability. These groups focus primarily on the issues of sibling and family adjustment. Expanding your family is a wonderful experience but it brings totally new challenges even for experienced parents! This is a discussion based group and some of the topics that you can expect to cover in these sessions are: sibling adjustment , how to help new big brothers and sisters thrive, family adjustment, how can you meet everybody’s needs?, working or not working, sharing parenting responsibilities, getting a break, having time alone with your older child or children, physical recovery and reclaiming your body – again, impact on relationships, developmentally appropriate expectations of your older child or children etc. These groups are exciting as moms usually ready to talk in detail about their experience and challenges right from the very beginning. These groups usually bring together moms from the east bay in general rather than a more specific area. There are not quite as many women who can take advantage of this resource and so combining both Berkeley and Oakland area moms means that we can offer these groups more often during the year. They can be scheduled to meet at either the Oakland location which is at the Lake Merritt United Methodist Church or in the Berkeley area location in the lacation support offices of Janaki Costello on San Pablo Ave near Solano Ave. The fee for the 8 week session is $275. I am happy to discuss payment arrangements if that is of any help. |
