Mindful connections is a support group for new moms who may need help as they adapt and transition into motherhood.

The emotional experience throughout pregnancy and after deliver is different for every woman. Hormones, sleep, nutrition and stress can impact your abiltiy to cope and feel like yourself again. It is normal to feel overwhemed with all the changes, whether you were prepared for them or not. Having support is important for moms, their baby and the rest of the family. The sooner you start, the more quickly you will bounce back.
For mothers with children 3 weeks to 14 months of age who are struggling with adapting to motherhood during the post partum period. This is an 8 week series of rotating topics and women can join the group at any time.
Topics and discussion include:

  • understanding postpartum mood disorders
  • self awareness, self care
  • coping measures and support

Child care is available at no cost.
