Adjusting to life with a new baby takes time—and support. We invite all of our mothers, fathers, and anyone else who needs it to join the postpartum support group that meets at the Alaska Family Health & Birth Center. Groups are led by an instructor, but everyone is welcome to discuss the topics and challenges they prefer. Attendance is on an as-needed basis as well.
When is it? The last Friday of every month at 6:30.
Who should go? Anyone who wants or needs extra support.
Where is it? Alaska Family Health & Birth Center
Led by: Kate Parks
Fee: None
