Prenatal & New Parent Support Groups

Support for Pregnant Women & Expectant and New Parents

Pregnancy and New Motherhood

Motherhood is a joyful time, but at times it can also bring on feelings of fear, anxiety, and isolation. Finding strength together is empowering. Connect with other pregnant and new mothers and find support in this safe space. We have a range of support groups that offer a safe space for individuals to connect, share experiences, and access resources to navigate the journey of parenthood and family life. We provide free virtual groups for those who reside in: Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Morris, Passaic, Sussex, Union, and Warren.

“The group has allowed me to be vocal about my struggles as a first-time mom. I was previously suffering in silence.”

Understanding the Importance of Support Groups

Perinatal support groups are crucial in providing emotional, informational, and social support to individuals facing similar circumstances. Whether it’s coping with difficult emotions, navigating the complexities of parenting, or seeking guidance on breastfeeding, these groups offer empowerment, strength, and understanding. These support groups for pregnant and new mothers provide a non-judgmental environment where parents can share their feelings, receive validation, and learn coping strategies from others.

“Whenever I think I am not doing my best as a first-time mother, the Circle of Hope reassures me that I’m doing great and the best I can.”
