The HRP Mamas Mothers Support Group Series for New Moms
The HRP Mamas Mothers Support Group Series is a weekly facilitated support and informational resource get-together for moms of newborns and infants. This series is guided by child development educators with years of experience leading support groups for new mothers.
Mothers meet in a child friendly location and share experiences with each other while getting support on:
- sleep
- development
- establishing routines
- finding childcare
- co-parenting and much more!
These groups are a wonderful way to receive guided support from childbirth and parent educators, while sowing the seeds for long lasting friendships with other local moms.
While these groups are focused on new mothers, mothers who have had a prior child/children are absolutely welcome to attend with their newborns/infants*.
Our Mothers Support Group Series runs for five weeks and can accommodate a maximum of 12 mothers.
Your group will meet weekly for 1.5 hours.
Dates: Tuesdays from March 3rd to March 31st (3/3 + 3/10+ 3/17 + 3/24+ 3/31)
Time: 12:00 to 1:30PM
Cost: $225 (for package of 5 consecutive weekly sessions)
Location: Playgarden 95 Franklin Street, NYC NY 10013
