Mothers Morning Out
Mothers Morning Out provides a welcoming opportunity for mothers to come together, connect and participate in activities that support wellbeing.
Arts, crafts and shared activities create space for relationships and friendships to grow while providing mothers with time to connect with others.
About Supports
Family Support Workers recognize that every family's circumstances are different. Support begins by understanding what is happening for you, identifying what you need and determining how we can walk alongside you.
You can be connected to the program through another Hiiye’yu Lelum service or community organization, and self-referrals are welcome.
