The goal of the The Single Mom's Group is to provide a safe space for single mothers to come together in community to offer and seek support from one another. Doing the single parent thing is an isolating experience all in its own, but doing so during a global pandemic while trying to work and support the academics of our children from home poses a uniquely challenging and intensely more isolating experience. In the past it has been hard enough to find the time and energy to connect with others, and now lack of opportunity is a barrier as well.

This group is designed to create opportunity for single moms to connect with other women who are walking a similar path. The group will be split into two options:

1. In Person - There will be an in person meeting at the barn with the horses on Thursdays from 3:00-4:30pm. (Please note, as the days get warmer and longer, this time may change) In person sessions are outdoor and COVID 19 guidelines are followed. (Please do not sign up for in person sessions if you are uncomfortable wearing a mask.) In person sessions will focus on working with the horses to improve our ability to form health connections with others.

2. Virtual - Knowing that child care is often a barrier to our ability to get out and meet others, Zoom meetings will be offered every week in an effort to eliminate this barrier. Virtual sessions will take place on Tuesday evenings from 7pm-8pm. 

​​

Both groups are open, but pre-registration is required for attendance to each. Attendance is not required for every session either in person or virtually. Upon registration, a participants will be provided a link and/or address to attend both the virtual and in person groups. 

 

Because we don't want finances to get in the way of connecting with others, virtual groups will operate on on a sliding scale per 60 minute session, pay what you can as you go.

In person groups with the horses are $50 per 90 minute session.
