Do you ever get one of those "I want to save the world" ideas? Well I think I get one at least once per week.
My most recent and ongoing idea is to initiate some breastfeeding and mothers support groups in my area. I already offer these support groups at my work, and at a few facilities in the area, but these groups although amazingly successful are limited to my clients and the patients of the specific facility where the groups are held.
There are many other places that you can get support in your community but the spaces are usually limited, classes are not offered on a consistent basis or they cost a lot of money. My idea would be to charge a minimum fee (likely to cover the cost of materials and snacks), to have a group on a biweekly basis at a time convenient for new moms, to have it at a comfortable meeting place, maybe a cafe or library where we can have snacks (yes I love snacks!), to facilitate a group which offers clear and need to know information and to provide professional and peer support.
Sounds amazing right...now how do we make this happen!?
