Mama Mental Health Group - 2nd Tuesday of the Month at 6pm
Our Mama Mental Health Group, led by Maria Rawson, LAC, CCTS-F, PMH-C, is a safe space for moms to come as they are, feel seen, and be supported, with each month focusing on a new topic and a simple craft for a little “me time” and connection.
Lactation Collection - Once monthly - Dates TBA
Our Lactation Collective, led by Makenna Harris, is a safe place to land no matter where you are in your nursing journey. With hands-on support, a new focus each month, and time for open discussion and Q&As, each group is customized to meet you where you are. Come as you are.
how you can help
There are so many meaningful ways to be part of what we’re building. You can give financially to help us provide support and resources to local families, or donate essential supplies like diapers, wipes, clothing, and baby items that go directly to those in need. If you have the time, volunteering is a beautiful way to get involved and help us serve our community in a hands-on way. You can also sponsor a family, giving them access to play, support services, and connection they may not otherwise have. And if you’re a local business or organization, partnering with us is a powerful way to make a lasting impact. However you choose to support, every contribution helps us show up for families in real, tangible ways, and reminds them they’re not alone.
