Care & Connection Groups
A single tree can stand tall on its own, but a forest is stronger together.
Pregnancy and the postpartum months look different for everyone, bringing their own mix of changes, questions, and emotions. Some moments feel joyful, others feel overwhelming, and many fall somewhere in between. Sometimes you need expert guidance or information. At other times, it just helps to connect with people who understand.
Our pregnancy support group, Pregnancy Connections, and our postpartum support group, New Baby, New Connections, offer welcoming spaces to connect with other parents, share experiences, ask questions, and feel a sense of belonging. Whether you're looking for friendship, reassurance, practical information, or support through a difficult time, all parents are welcome. Share as much or as little as feels comfortable.
Both groups are free, and no advance registration is required. Simply join us on the day and time of the group you'd like to attend.
To help everyone feel comfortable connecting and sharing, Tree House Family Resources will be closed to the public during group sessions, providing a private and nurturing environment.
Come as you are, and share in the journey of parenthood.
