Yes! Bring your child in their stroller, babywear, or even bring bikes/scooters for older children. This group is for you, and to give you a chance to talk, connect, and heal with other moms. If you are comfortable talking with your kids around and don’t feel like they would be a major distraction to you, then bring them along. There is also a big field in the middle. I will have a few activities/toys for toddlers to interact with if they don’t want to ride a bike/be pushed in a stroller. While you walk with other moms I will help with the children. During the larger group discussion, you may bring snacks or quiet time activities to help distract them (as best we can haha) as we talk.

Make sure to wear comfortable shoes. The path is paved and it is easy to push a stroller on. Please bring water to stay hydrated. Monitor the weather to determine if you would benefit from sunscreen. There are some shaded parts of the path, but most of it is in direct sun. During the group discussions we will sometimes sit on the field, so bring a blanket or towel to sit on if you don’t want to be on the grass.

No. This group is open to any mom looking for support and connection. There will be no initial evaluation or assessment. If you feel like you need further mental health support, the group therapist will help connect you with additional support. You do not have to use group therapist as your own therapist. We will work with you within your means to connect you with the most appropriate therapist that fits your mental health and financial abilities.
