* “Listening Mothers was an amazing learning experience. The facilitator, an outstanding professional, guided our discussions and truly enhanced my final parenting experience. I highly recommend this program–whether it’s your first baby or your third”–Alayne Sulkin, Mom and Editor of ParentMap
* “The best aspects of Listening Mothers were the well-trained facilitator and the education she provided, along with the small group size that created a safe and trusting place to open up, learn and grow.”–Deborah L., Mom and Microsoft Employe
* “Having a newborn was more difficult than I had expected, and The Listening Mothers Program gave me the support I needed. It felt so good to spend time each week with other new moms going through the same things I was. My group facilitator was able to help me through the difficult times and focus on myself and my relationship with my baby. Now, four years later, I’m still close with the moms in my group. And the discussions we had still help to guide my parenting”–Penny C., Mom and local business owner
* “I think it was very helpful in terms of information and support. We had a good group, in that people were willing to talk and be open, and no one monopolized the discussion. The facilitator did a really good job of encouraging our participation and our parenting, and provided a solid, non-intrusive, interested presence. I would have liked a list of recommended readings and resources, and would have liked author, source, etc. information on our handouts.”
* “Listening Mothers offers more than a conversation about teething and sleeping. Those things are important but what made it really work for me was that it was a safe outlet to express myself and get support about what it’s like to BE a new mother, my experience of it, and validating my struggles and triumphs.”
* “I would recommend Listening Mothers to a friend because it deals more specifically with the emotions and feelings that come up as a new mother which other programs do not, mainly PEPS and Mommy and Me. I felt the issues that were brought up were very important and special which needed to be addressed for me personally.”
