We are starting a group for mom's from 1 March 2024 for mom's.
The group runs every Friday for 2 hours.
I facilitate a supportive conversation between mom's in a safe and relaxed environment. Mom's have a coffee and talk about the realities of motherhood, and we provide and hold space for mom's to tell their truth, while feeling supported.
The group allows for 6 participants, and is facilitated in Afrikaans and English.
All group meetings are claimed through medical aid.
We discuss some of the following:
• Normalising fears and trauma around birthing and raising a child;
• Sharing of experiences with vulnerability in a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space;
• Speaking to the stigma and telling the truth about the realities of being a mom, the pressures of managing multiple roles and the fears no one discusses out in the open;
• Facilitating a supportive community of mom's for mom's;
• Discussions around a mom's own generational history, trauma and the fears around repeating these with our children;
• Stigmas and pressure from social media, family, culture and society and the expectations these create for mom's, as well as the emotional impact and focusing on each mom's truth;
• Stigmas and pressures around breastfeeding;
• Judgements often felt by mom's and feelings of failure and inadequacy;
Naturally there are many more topics of discussion and the list is far too long to name them all here, but if you or someone you know feels like they would benefit from an experience like this, please feel free to contact me.
