Park County Blossom Mom

Blossom Mom is a nurturing space for new and expecting moms.

FIRST & THIRD TUESDAYS

10-11 AM / Cairn Conference Room

112 West Lewis St., Community Health Partners, Livingston, MT

Groups are free but please register on days you plan to attend.

Please don’t come if you or your baby are feeling sick or have been sick. 

We have two Blossom Mom groups each month in Park County.

Blossom Mom is a peer-to-peer support group guided by a skilled facilitator and mother like yourself. This group welcomes new and expecting mothers of all stages who wish to connect on the joys and challenges of pregnancy and parenthood, while also gaining wisdom and support from others in a compassionate and non-judgmental space.

​At Roots, we know parenting is hard. And we know that parenting without community is even harder. You are not alone, come join us with your baby or just yourself.

Please respect our space and other families by honoring our illness policy; please do not come if you or your baby are feeling sick or are still contagious.  

What to expect at Blossom Mom

We use a peer-to-peer support group model that is both structured and unstructured, allowing for all voices to be heard and acknowledged, and for those who wish to be listeners to be respected. You can expect: a friendly, trained peer-facilitator, in a safe and comfy space accompanied by other mothers who understand, and an opportunity to share uninterrupted and free of judgment or advice.

Common themes that come up during our group are, but not limited to:
