Support groups for moms in Central MA in search of connection, community, and confidence.
Empowering you to survive and thrive in early motherhood
You deserve a motherhood experience that fills you up instead of swallows you whole.
So many things about pregnancy and early motherhood are focused on your baby—from childbirth prep and breastfeeding classes to story time and playground meetups. Meanwhile, you're left to adjust to a new identity and shifting family dynamics, often with far less support than you imagined.
You aren't alone if you're feeling overwhelmed, isolated, and unsure how to ask for help. And you deserve to do something for YOU.
The Supported Mom Initiative’s in-person, intimate moms groups connect you with other Central MA moms who are in the exact same phase of motherhood you’re in.
At our meetings in Grafton, MA, and select surrounding communities, you'll find a safe space to feel seen, heard, and validated as a new mom. We don’t just hang out and laugh (although we do that, too!). We tackle topics like communication, self-compassion, and sleep using a curriculum developed by the co-founders of NAPS™, two moms who spent over a decade as labor and delivery nurses.
Finally, a mom support group that acts like that mythical village everyone told you about.

Come As You Are
It's okay to need help, and we welcome you with compassion on the good days and the hard days. No need to put on a happy face—or even a clean shirt—we're just glad you're here!
-
Parent Your Way
There’s no magic formula for anything in parenting. Each Supported Mom village offers a judgment-free zone where you can ditch the mom guilt and build your confidence.

Make Space For You
Keeping everyone safe, happy, and fed matters, but so do you! You deserve a chance to put yourself first as you celebrate, vent, and grow surrounded by other moms who get it.
“I'm so happy I took time for myself to take Tina's first Working Moms Support Group. This is what every mother needs - a space to vent, discuss parenting issues, collect and share resources without any judgement. If Tina had her groups running when my child was a newborn it would have been such a support line!”

Put Dad in charge (or book a sitter!), and come Gather & Grow with Us
Beyond weekly moms' groups, The Supported Mom Initiative hosts bimonthly meetups to provide essential wellness education and self-care opportunities.
Take the chance to get out of the house, meet other mamas, and do something just for YOU. Learn from sought-after experts about topics like postpartum mental health, pelvic floor therapy, and fair play in your parenting partnership. Join us for a crystal sound bath, guided meditation, or yoga class. No matter the focus, you’ll leave feeling great about making a deposit into your own wellness bank.
Mamas who are part of a weekly village get a discounted rate of $11, but any mama can register for just $33 per event. A portion of the proceeds is always donated to a nonprofit or effort that benefits moms. Find out more about the next meetup and save your spot—a roomful of expecting, new, and early years mamas can’t wait to meet you!
