"My PIP Group was my primary support system during those first few months. It was all so foreign, and it was nice to know I wasn't alone."

About PIP

PIP is a nonprofit organization providing community-building groups for new parents in Central Texas.

PIP exists in the community to provide a safe space to share the highs & lows of parenting, grow as a new parent, combat social isolation, and build community. 

What is a PIP Group?

  • Weekly meet-up groups for parents & caregivers of all genders to attend with their babies (0-12 months).

  • Our goal is to provide a welcoming and non-judgmental space where families can share the experience of transitioning through new parenthood together.

  • Groups meet on Thursdays at 10 am or 6 pm and meet for 8 consecutive weeks.

What happens during a PIP Group?

  • All parents are invited to share their highs and lows from each week.

  • The group chooses topics related to early parenthood to discuss.

  • Guest speakers are invited to talk about infant development and early parenting topics.

  • Participants gain access to local resources.

WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING

  • My husband and I joined a PIP group in 2018 and it was one of the best decisions we’ve made as parents, to date! We met other families who I know will be lifelong friends, and our kids have grown up knowing one another. My text chain with the other families has been a lifeline as we have navigated the newborn phase, weaning, childcare, potty training, and most recently kindergarten together. We have leaned on each other constantly and I could not be more grateful for this organization. I want every family to have the experience we did. Don’t hesitate to give this a shot!!

  • Me enteré de PIP por mi grupo de posparto y me enamoré de esta organización desde el primer momento. El apoyo y los recursos que brindan a nuevos padres en sus momentos más vulnerables, tanto en inglés como en español, son invaluables. He apoyado a PIP durante 6 años y seguiré haciéndolo porque realmente creo en el impacto positivo que traen a nuestra comunidad.

  • PIP was hands-down the best thing my husband and I did during our first year as new parents. Our group got us through those first few rough months and resulted in friendships that continue to this day (6 years later). It's the only thing I recommend to new parents!
