Enrollment in the Spring groups has ended; to indicate your interest in future groups, please see the Transitioning Home webpage.
A parent who leaves the paid workforce to be at home often experiences unexpected feelings and questions related to being an at-home parent. This Spring, Family and Home Network re-launched our Transitioning Home parent discussion groups. During this six-week series of meetings, we cover many topics including:
· Expectations, personal identity and the potential for personal growth
· The needs of infants and the critical mother-infant relationship
· Myths and realities of a home-based life
· Family, community, cultural influences
We’ll meet online, using Google+ hangouts. For a limited time, we are offering FREE enrollment in these groups (please note that while we will make every effort to include you in a group, due to scheduling challenges we may not be able to offer groups to everyone who expresses an interest).
Each Transitioning Home discussion group will include up to 6 parents and a facilitator from FAHN; meetings will last 90 minutes. Materials for reading between meetings, reflection/writing opportunities, and both individual and group exercises will be provided. Some materials will be emailed to you each week, some is offered on a private website just for Transitioning Home participants.
The enrollment period ends on April 9, discussion groups begin meeting that week.
We would really appreciate your help in spreading the word about this opportunity! For more information, and to indicate your interest, please see the Transitioning Home webpage.
