PIP GROUPS FOR PARENTS OF NEWBORNS (2-16 WEEKS)

The first year after your baby’s arrival brings so many emotions: joy, overwhelm, exhaustion, loneliness, awe, and everything in between. It’s full of the highest highs and lowest lows.

PIP groups provide a welcoming space for new parents to keep it real and find comfort and nourishment through friendship, community resources, and connection.

Program Fee Info & Options 

Program Fee Option 1: $250

We estimate that it will cost PIP $1000 to serve a family in 2023. Our goal is to reduce the financial barrier to entry for all families. In 2024, we are asking families that are able to cover 25% of cost to select this option.

Program Fee Option 2: $125

We firmly believe every family needs PIP regardless of ability to pay the full program fee. Our $125 option allows you to join a group at a reduced rate.

Program Fee Option 3: $25

Your time has value, especially as a new parent. If you are only able to give your time to join, we empower you to select this $25 option to cover the registration processing fees.
