Support program for new mothers
NEWTON Pregnant women and mothers of newborns are invited to receive free parenting tips, baby items, information about childhood health, and more from Project Self-Sufficiencys Healthy Families program. The program combines home visits by certified professionals with educational outings for mother and child to help parents boost literacy levels and address health issues within their new family. Women with children up to the age of three are eligible. Feeling isolated and overwhelmed are common issues with mothers of young children. The Healthy Families program gives mothers the opportunity to meet regularly with other women in similar circumstances by attending monthly Mommy Parties. Participants receive valuable information while enjoying lunch and engaging in craft projects with their children. Transportation to the monthly gatherings is available to women in need. To enroll, call 973-940-3500.
