Have an infant at home? Expecting and ready to talk about it? This group is for you! This peer support space is for new parents\, whether you’re preparing to welcome a child into your home or have already added to your family. \nThis group is meant for folks to connect\, building community\, and engage in conversation. Feel empowered to bring your frustrations\, joys\, questions & tools for coping- this group is meant to be whatever participants need it to be! \nThis group is facilitated by Ash Dasuqi\, RN\, CPM—a trans genderqueer midwife\, childbirth educator\, critical care nurse\, and parent.
