Come connect with other new moms to share questions and concerns as well as experiences and tips, and learn from each other. It’s a great way to meet other mothers and babies, learn and build friendships, and share experiences while supporting each other. This support group meets weekly on Tuesdays from 10 am–noon. Come every week or just when you can! Registration is not required.
