New Mothers Support Group

A monthly support group for new mothers and their little ones, offered completely free to the community in the Greater Philadelphia area.

A beautiful, calm, vibrant, open, honest, caring setting for mothers to come together. Whether you have just had your first child or your fifth, each new little one brings with them lots of learning. It may take a village to raise a child, but it also takes a community of women to raise up a mother.

Each meeting offers mothers a chance to ask for and offer support, or simply enjoy being in each other's company.

Third Tuesday of each month, 10:30-11:30am
