Mom-to-Mom Support Circle
Our Mom-to-Mom Support Circle is a closed, 6-month support group that offers a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space for mothers and birthing people navigating the emotional ups and downs of pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood.
By meeting with the same group once a month for six months, participants have the opportunity to build deep connections, develop trust, and grow alongside others who truly understand. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, looking for support, or hoping to connect with other moms who get it, the Circle is a place to share openly, learn practical coping strategies, or simply listen and know you aren’t alone.
Led by a trained peer facilitator with lived experience, the Circle encourages honest conversation, meaningful connection, and mutual support throughout the six-month journey.
Next Group will start in August. Registration will open soon.
