Parenting is not a walk in the park. Parenting is an everyday struggle, where you feel you are struggling by yourself first and foremost. Some days it can push your boundaries to their extremes, it can be emotionally draining, it can be exhausting.
But you are not alone.
Many mothers out there are looking for other mothers to lean in and to get support.
Who are our members
Mothers who would like to learn more about parenting, meet together in this group twice a month and they share their daily challenges within a safe, positive and non-judgemental environment. Not to mention, single parents who are stuggling with raising their kids all alone are more than welcome in our group.
What we do
At the same time, we learn useful tools and techniques on how to deal with the emotional rollercoaster of parenting (to name a few: shame, vulnerability, guilt, stress, loneliness...), and we prepare ourselves mentally on how to become more resilient and live a more balanced family life.
We will talk about:
Self-care
Relationships
Social support
Boundaries
Mental health awareness
Character strengths
Dealing with mama guilt
Developing self worth
Identifying and embracing your new identity
Healthy emotional expression in relationships
Ambivalence in motherhood
Developing tolerance and managing anger
Getting back to work
Assertiveness
Sex after pregnancy
Embracing body image
And we will also have special guest speakers to talk about:
Sex and intimacy after childbirth
Sleep training
Raising bi/multi-lingual children
Nutrition

Bring only your concerns, questions, open minds and warm hearts!

"I've recently joined a new Support Group. I didn't know what to expect but each time I have been, I've noticed that there is a healing 'energy' in the room. People share their stories and situations in a safe way. It's a small intimate group, it feels good to have a window to share with others travelling a similarly difficult journey. Vassia who facilitates holds the group in a very talented way. She gives home exercises that are really causing me to be brave and deepen the process of acceptance." (M., from the Divorce Support Group-Leiden)
"Vassia is a skillful, caring, empathetic and assertive counselor. With her energy and her endless will to help, the support group exceeds our expectations." (J., from the Divorce Support Group-Leiden)
