As mothers and caretakers, we need to learn from one another, as our children transition from one developmental stage to another. What is too often ignored, as we go about our many tasks of daily living, is the fact that we too, experience developmental transitions concurrent with our kids life stages. Mothers’ Collective Wisdom offers to provide a nexus for you to tap into the innate wisdom which resides in all mothers and caretakers.
Using my experiences as a psychologist and a mother of adult children, I can help you to set up and form a nurturing, highly informative group of friends, associates and/or other individual women develop a plan to support, inform and guide each another in the often isolated job of mothering. Such groups have been started in community centers, private homes and a variety of alternative venues. Naming and validating this most mundane yet profound work elevates and recognizes its essential meaning.
Who Is a “Mother?”
- Birth mothers
- Adoptive mothers
- Step-mothers
- Fathers who are “mothers”
- Caregivers who are often in maternal roles
Basically, this includes anyone who has cared for, loved, worried about or looked after children (or dependents) and loved ones from a young age through any phase of adulthood.
What I Offer:
- Structured discussion groups, run and designed by trained professionals, who are also mothers and caretakers
- Speakers on topics relevant to mothering and care-taking
This is an interview from when I founded “The Mothers’ Center of Birmingham/Bloomfield” A.K.A. “The Mothers Networking Center”.
