Support Groups and Services

POSTPARTUM SUPPORT GROUP:

Are you struggling as a new parent? Need to talk to others going through the same challenges? You are not alone.

We have run our parent support circle for many years, but with Covid-19 we had to pause. Now we can start again and are so happy about this.

Facilitated by parent and postpartum doula student Alicia Thibadeau and/or Sonja Martin / Sarah Susnar.

This is a free group - welcoming, confidential space to be heard and seen. Topics include sleep, feeding, mental health, relationships, etc.

Join us on Friday's from 1-3pm starting October 29th.

Pre-registering will be required due to space limitations (no drop in), email lavenderandplay@gmail.com or call 705 874 3517 to register.

BREASTFEEDING & WELLNESS CAFE:

This free service will run on a pre-booked appointment basis on Monday's from 1pm-3pm starting November 8th to support parents 1:1 who are having challenges or need information on breastfeeding/chest/body feeding. 

This includes but is not limited to: hand expression, skin to skin, latch basics, pumping, positions, common challenges, and referrals.
