When I became a mother, I found that I needed lots of support, and talking to my friends who were not moms wasn’t helping me. My husband didn’t understand either because he was at work all day.  I needed a group of mothers who could be encouraging, compassionate, and helpful when I needed advice. I also wanted a group of friends for me and my children. If you are a new mother, or even if you have been at this motherhood thing for a while, it is worth looking into the different support programs that are available to you in your community. Here are just a few:

MOPS International (Mothers of Preschoolers)

Mom to Mom (by Linda Anderson)

Mothers and More

The Mommies Network
