Giving birth – whether it’s for the first time or second or third – is an incredible journey, but it can also be one of the most challenging times in a woman’s life. Between sleepless nights, hormonal changes, and the pressures of caring for a newborn, it’s easy for parents to put their emotional well-being on the back burner.
To support moms during this time, the New Jersey Postpartum Resource and Support Network (NJPRSN) and the Somerset County Commission on the Status of Women invite you to a special virtual workshop:
