Supporting Moms Returning to the Workplace February 23, 2009
I am constantly amazed by the brilliant women I am surrounded by at
PO. I see the commitment to being a mother and I see the hunger for
something more. Most women have a career prior to having children and
whether you take a six week leave or a six year leave, at some point
most women will want to be back in the workplace. But it is an
enormous challenge to balance work and family, especially while
remaining committed to strong emotional connections with our partner
and our children.
Saturday February 28th, from 11-12 Parenting Oasis will host the first
monthly Balancing Work and Mothering meeting. Please come- lets talk
about our needs and the needs of our community. Whether currently
working or planning to return to work in the future, come join the
conversation.
Don’t forget this week’s volunteer meeting and please, if you know
someone who could benefit from the Healing Birth Stories Workshop,
pass on the information. The first time we offered it, it was a
wonderful healing experience for everyone.
