We are so proud to have created and support a peer support group available to pregnant and postpartum moms and birthing persons.​
​
Here are some questions that might be on your mind as you think about attending...
​
1. When is group?
Group is the 1st and 3rd Wednesday from 10:30-11:30am at Lilypad Play in O'bryonville. We are so thankful to Lilypad for providing us such a welcoming environment to meet!
​
2. Do I need to register in advance to attend the group?
Registration is preferred so that we can have an idea of how many will be joining us! But you are always welcome to just show up :) Click here for registration.
​
3. Is there a fee?
The actual support group is entirely volunteer led. We do follow the guidelines of the space we are so thankful to meet in. LilyPad is free to babies under 1. A pass for the day is $10 for children 1 and older. After the group is finished (or before it starts) we encourage you to stay and play!
​​
4. What is LilyPad?
LilyPad is an amazing indoor place space geared toward kids 6 years and under.

​
5. Where is LilyPad?
Located in O'Bryonville at 2008 Madison Rd Cincinnati, OH 45208.
LilyPad has dedicated spots on the side in the front of the building. If those free spots are taken please park in the large paid parking lot in the back. Please don't park in spots dedicated to other businesses, thank you! Street parking is also available.
​
6. Who can attend?
Although the group is geared towards moms and birthing persons with babies under a year, our goal is to make this group as open, supportive and inclusive as possible. If you think you may benefit from more peer support (whether you are newly pregnant, 3 weeks postpartum, 3 years postpartum... whatever!) please attend. We welcome all stages and journeys of motherhood!
You are welcome to bring your child/children to group! With that being said, there is not childcare available and you will be responsible to keep your eye on any children you bring with you. If you are bringing a child who is mobile we do ask that you have an eye on your kiddo the whole time they are playing. If you are planning to bring an older kid please try to keep them with you for the duration of the group. We will plan to have some toys in the room to help entertain them for the hour!
​
7. Who is leading this group?
We currently have 2 amazing local moms who are volunteering their time, heart and energy to lead this group. They have completed group facilitator training through POEM and are supported by Joslyn with Reedy-Kay and Associates. To be clear, this is not a group lead by a licensed professional and should not be considered a therapeutic group. We have chosen a peer support model because loneliness and isolation is one of the biggest barriers in parenthood today... and not something therapy alone can heal. If you would be interested in joining our facilitation team please email!
​
8. Do I need to bring anything?
Per Lilypad policy, please wear socks! There are drinks and snacks available for purchase for $1. Head to LilyPad's site for any additional info about their space https://lilypadplay.com/about/.

Fertility journeys bring on so many challenges, a common one is feeling isolated and alone. One of our practitioners, Caitlin, leads a monthly, virtual support group through the Jewish Fertility Foundation for women experiencing infertility to help alleviate some of that isolation. The group is free of charge and open to all in Cincinnati! The meeting is held at the end of the month on Monday evenings.
