New Parent Support Cooperative

New Parent Support Cooperative

Folks join the collective and offer and receive support in the form of cleaning, meals, chore help, minor childcare help and listening ears.

Points

Very much needed...how would it be promoted to the community? What would a budget look like (how much and for what things could money be helpful for?)

parents need support in our culture that does not allow for family leave. Supporting parents and many times mothers as they start their parenting journey is where we can begin to heal some of the wounds our families feel

Parental burnout is a real thing. I think there are some mom's/parental groups in the La Crosse area that might be interested in something like this. Maybe connecting with them to gain support and solidify your ideas would be helpful. The Parenting Place might be a good resource as well. Let me know if you'd like me to set up a connection between you and the executive director there.

would it be possible to partner with other family oriented groups for structure and/or support (i.e. the Family and Children Center; The parenting place)?
