Nearly 6 years after the start of the pandemic, this MARA Listens session will focus on birth stories and early postpartum experiences for those who were simultaneously navigating the global pandemic. Join other parents to reflect on this time and how it has influenced our lives since then. Susan Ellenwood and Melissa Larimer of the Maternal Advocates Resource Alliance (MARA) and pandemic mom Amara Stuehling will facilitate this listening session.
RSVP through the event is appreciated, but not required. Babes in arms welcome, and light snacks will be provided. Please feel free to message MARA via messenger with any questions. We look forward to seeing you and are incredibly grateful to our host, Amanda Grano at Grano Montessori.
