¡Nuestros Grupos de Apoyo para Padres en español están de regreso!

El embarazo y los primeros años de la maternidad y paternidad pueden traer muchísimas emociones, retos y alegrías. Estos grupos mensuales y gratuitos ofrecen un espacio acogedor y sin juicios donde padres que hablan español pueden conectar, compartir sus experiencias y apoyarse mutuamente mientras disfrutan de un cafecito para el alma. ☕💜

Nos da mucho gusto contar con Adriana Perez-Garcia (Birth Doula Madre Luna) como facilitadora de los grupos. Adriana es una doula de parto de nuestra comunidad y ha sido parte de nuestro Grupo de Trabajo de Salud Mental Perinatal por varios años. Está muy emocionada de crear un espacio de apoyo y conexión para las familias.

📍 Brewster
🗓️ Miércoles 9 de septiembre (y cada segundo miércoles del mes)
🕠 5:30–7:00 p. m.

📍 Omak
🗓️ Martes 22 de septiembre (y cada cuarto martes del mes)
