Are you a mom or mom to be that sometimes (or often) feels overwhelmed? Anxious? Overstimulated? Maybe you are experiencing a low mood, struggling to connect with your baby and find joy.
Angela Bishop RSW and Amber Sperling RSW are excited to offer a NEW program for moms in the Barrie area focused on Engaging Your Sense in Motherhood.
Engaging your Senses in Motherhood is a six-week therapeutic support group for moms or expecting parents who are struggling to manage emotions, their roles as moms and want to build their coping toolbox while connecting with other moms who *get it*.
Through the six weeks, participants will engage in different ways to use their senses with readily accessible tools to feel more present, grounded and more like the person they want to be. At the end of this support group program, participants will have a greater sense of the power their eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and body have in engaging with the world around them.
Angela and Amber both have years of experience working with new parents, supporting mental health struggles and facilitating support groups.
Insurance may cover all or part of the cost of this psychotherapeutic group if you have coverage for social work – receipts will be provided. Join us for the whole series, or one week, however receipts will only be provided for weeks that you do attend.
WHEN:
Tuesdays @ 9:30am-11:00am
WHERE:
Serenity Birth Studio, 4 Alliance Blvd., Unit 10, Barrie, ON
COST:
$350 (tax exempt)
