Welcome to The Motherhood Connection
We’re more than a support group—we’re a community parents can rely on throughout every stage of the motherhood journey.
Motherhood isn’t meant to be done alone. Becoming a mom changes everything — and you deserve support through it all. The Motherhood Connection is a welcoming community where moms find real connection, guidance from trusted professionals, and reassurance from other moms who truly understand. We’re here for you from pregnancy through the early years and beyond, so you always have support you can rely on.
Support Groups For Moms
The Motherhood Connection support groups are professionally facilitated support groups for new moms seeking connection, emotional support, and expert guidance during postpartum and early motherhood. These groups provide a welcoming space to talk openly, learn practical tools, and feel supported through the real experiences of motherhood.
Each session is led by a licensed clinical social worker and focuses on maternal wellness through meaningful discussion, practical tools, and evidence-informed guidance. Topics may include postpartum emotions, anxiety and mood changes, identity shifts, relationships, boundaries, self-care, and adjusting to daily life with a baby, while infant development topics are introduced during guest expert visits.
Throughout the series, guest experts join us to share additional guidance on topics such as feeding, sleep, developmental milestones, postpartum recovery, pelvic floor health, nutrition after birth, and other common parenting questions—offering trusted insight within the supportive, discussion-based environment of the group.
Serving families in the Park Ridge and Chicagoland area.

WHAT PAST GROUP MEMBERS SAY
Emily M.
I truly can’t recommend enough! This group was more than I ever expected — the best part was making new mom friends who are always there to lift you up. If you’re a new mom I promise this is something you absolutely won’t regret.
Kelly C.
The friendships I made from this group are absolutely amazing. Michelle leads a professional yet fun support group. My son is almost 2 and I still got so much out of this group!
Claire C.
It's hard to take time to do anything for yourself as a new mom but this is definitely worth it! I loved it so much & wish we could do it all over again!
