Support for Expectant and New Families
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer these questions!
I work with pregnant women, new mothers, and families, offering therapy in my north Cambridge office and workshops in the community. There are some new parent groups to which I often refer clients, but I want to make sure I know about all the good supports for families!
I'm also curious if there's a need for any groups or workshops related to pregnancy, postpartum or parenting that do *not* currently exist in this area (Arlington-Medford-Cambridge-Somerville).
