What is Mommy Connections?

Mommy Connections is an initiative under the Jaffari Support Services (JSS).

Our team hopes to support mothers at all stages of parenting by:

  • Connecting mothers in the community
  • Empowering mothers with information about various topics through support group sessions
  • Creating a confidential and supportive environment where mothers can share their experiences with one another.

Stay Connected!

Check out our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/mommyconnectionsjcc for updates! Please help us spread the word to other mothers and mothers-to-be who could benefit from this program!

If you have any questions or need more information, please email us at [email protected]

We look forward to seeing you at our sessions!
