You don’t have to figure it all out alone. Join other new moms for gentle, supportive conversations and practical guidance on:
- Asking for and accepting support
- Figuring out feeding and sleep (yours and your baby’s)
- Managing postpartum emotions, anxiety, and mood shifts
- Finding yourself again in this new season of motherhood
Come as you are — messy bun, baby in tow (0-6 months), and in your coziest clothes. This group is a place to exhale, connect, and remember you’re doing better than you think.

Break the Cycle: Support Group for Victims of Domestic Violence
Throughout its 45 years, The Center has helped thousands of victims of domestic violence reclaim their lives through the Break the Cycle of Domestic Violence Program (Break the Cycle). This program provides critical components in the continuum of care for victims that help them find physical safety, economic stability, and improved mental health. Specific services include: crisis intervention; court accompaniment; trauma-informed, evidence-based mental health counseling; information about accessing and navigating the criminal, civil, housing, legal, medical, mental health and other service systems; safety planning; referrals to community resources; education about the dynamics of domestic violence and its cyclical nature; long-term care management; financial education and counseling; career mentoring and individual coaching; and, social-connection support groups that foster empowerment and development of trusted connections. In addition, the program provides education to victims and the community and support to the clinicians working with victims of domestic violence through training, peer and supervisory support.
This program is fully funded by a grant and is free to participants.
