VerMamas New Parent Group SERIES OF CLASSES
March 2, 2021 June 15, 2021

Having a baby transforms our lives in the most amazing, unpredictable and challenging ways. In the best of times, there is not a lot of support for people during the new parent period when they are trying to figure out how to take care of a baby, potentially go back to work, and define their new identity with little sleep and a lot of emotions. COVID-19 has made it hard to have friends and family close and new parents need to connect with each other more than ever.

For May through September dates, this group meets outdoors at Oakledge Park in Burlington (without babies or partners) from 6-7 pm, to connect and support each other through one of the hardest and most joyous times of your life. For October through April, the group meets on zoom from 7:30-8:30 pm.

Potential topics covered:
 Partnerships – communication and expectations
 Balancing work/life and career transitions
 Feeding/Sleeping
 Sex after baby
 Motherhood – cultural messages and ideas
 Body Changes/ Body Image/Acceptance
 Parenting philosophies/values
 Goals and dreams
