POEM would like to remind you to acknowledge your feelings and take breathers this Holiday season. It's okay to to express your feelings or to take 10-15 minutes out of your day to de-stress. Some favorites: take a winter wonderland walk to look at lights, curl up with a "classic," listen to calming music, nap by the fire. Happy Holidays friends.

Next Meeting, Format and Principles
Plan to come to our next meeting, Saturday, October 10 at 10 am at Northwest Counseling Center (Map/Directions link)
Encompassing our mission to support moms from pregnancy and beyond, we facilitate two concurrent groups. We have the pregnancy/postpartum group to support and share among mothers (and welcome support persons) during this time. We also offer a separate Maternal Wellness Group for moms beyond the postpartum time period.
This allows us to more fully support both new perinatal mamas and their specific set of needs while simultaneously providing a separate space for women who've recovered from initial postpartum stresses to share and support each other.
We begin the meeting all together and spend the final 30 minutes or so as one group, allowing time for the valuable sharing of knowledge between the more experienced and new moms.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE that our core group meeting principle - to provide a caring, safe, relaxed, non-judgmental and confidential environment where moms have the option to share or just listen - remains with both groups.
Please call the Support Line (614.315.8989) or email amy@poemonline.org for more information.
