We can honor bereaved moms by speaking the names and telling stories.

Wishing everyone peace & warmth this holiday season. Please join us for the last MOMS Group of 2022 on 12/27 from 6pm-8pm.

Expectant and Postpartum Moms, The MOMS Line provides free peer-led support groups called MOMS Groups. If you've been having big feelings and want a supportive, confidential space to share and be heard - The MOMS Groups are for you. MOMS Groups are casual, judgment free zones where kiddos are welcome and you can come as you are. Come to listen, to share or both. We are still meeting on Zoom so you can join us from home, work, your car, the bathroom, or anywhere! Groups are typically two hours long, join us for the entire time or for a few minutes. We have four MOMS Groups this week, join us for one and see how unconditional support and connection feels.

These last days of the year can be stressful and overwhelming, especially for moms. We have 4 more supportive groups this week and one next week. All pregnant and postpartum moms are welcome. No registration needed. Kiddos welcome. Come as you are, come to listen or to share at both. All groups are on Zoom.
