Build your community with other new parents of babies (12 months and under)! This four-part series is a chance to sing, schmooze, and share oys and joys with other families. Build Your Village will be co-led by Music Specialist Rachel Mylan and Couple and Family Therapist intern Leah Whiteman. We will offer yummy snacks, but feel to bring your own nut-free favorites. This is a support group sponsored by Maggie’s Place.
