SUMMARY:Postpartum Support Group
DESCRIPTION:Postpartum Support International\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNEW SUPPORT GROUP!\n\n\n\nPostpartum Psychosis (PPP) is rare. It occurs in approximately 1 to 2 out of every 1\,000 deliveries.  After a PPP survivor’s symptoms have been stabilized\, peer support can be an important tool for recovery. Because PPP occurs less often than other perinatal mood disorders\, survivors can go their whole lives without meeting another PPP survivor.  In response\, PSI has created an online peer-to-peer support group for PPP survivors. This group is intended for those who are in recovery (no longer experiencing psychosis).   Whether your PPP experience was relatively recent or years ago\, you are welcome to attend our free\, online peer-to-peer support group.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister here: https://www.postpartum.net/…/psi-online-support-meetings/\nFull Meeting Schedule

SUMMARY:Lyrid Meteor Shower
DESCRIPTION:Lyrid Meteor Shower\nTuesday\, April 22\, a little before midnight a little after\n\nA dazzling meteor shower producing 10-15 meteors per hour! Since the radiant rises before midnight\, try spotting meteors before the fat crescent Moon rises after midnight.\n\nWhat’s the best way to see shooting stars?\n“For the best experience\, face roughly toward the east\, lie down in a safe\, dark place away from bright lights\, and look straight overhead\,” NASA spokesman Preston Dyches said. \n\n\nWhere in the USA can you watch the 2025 Lyrid meteor shower?\n\nThere’s good news for U.S. sky watchers; the Lyrid meteor shower will be visible across the country. But\, in order to get the absolute best view of the meteor shower\, Space.com says you’ll need to head somewhere with little to no light pollution to see it. \nThat may mean traveling out of urban and residential areas\, and heading to remote areas with wide open views of the night sky. According to Travel & Leisure\, some of the darkest places in the U.S. include: \nWhat time should you go outside to see the Lyrid meteor shower?\n\nNow that you know the date and where to go\, it’s important to set yourself up for success by heading outside at the right time. According to Space.com\, that means going out just before dawn\, when the shower will be at the highest point in the sky. \nJust keep in mind\, while this means you’ll have better visibility of the shower — which has a Zenithal Hourly Rate (ZHR) of 18\, meaning that you should be able to witness 18 meteors during the peak activity hour — you’ll have less time to enjoy it. \n\n\nThat’s because the meteors will become less visible as the sun begins to rise. But\, the tradeoff is that you’ll likely have the clearest viewing window during that time. \nSpace.com also cautions hopeful stargazers to come prepared when they show up for the meteor shower\, which involves bringing warm clothing and a hot beverage so that you can help regulate your body temperature overnight. \n\n\nAdditionally\, the website says bringing a flashlight with a red light will help you to see what’s going on around you without compromising your view of the Lyrid meteors. Lastly\, they suggest using a deck chair with a slight incline while you wait. This will give you a better view of the sky without putting undo strain on your neck. \nBecause you don’t want to miss one of those 18 meteors because you had to take a break because you were uncomfortable.

SUMMARY:Parent Nest: A guided Play and Connection Series
DESCRIPTION:Parent Nest: A guided play and connection series\nFridays\, April 7 – 28\, 9:15 – 10am \nIf those early parenting days feel like a mix of wonder and worry\, you’re not alone. Between those middle-of-the-night feeds and milestone questions\, it’s natural to feel both overwhelmed and amazed—sometimes in the same moment. While you’re marveling at your little one’s daily discoveries\, you might also be wondering if you’re doing enough\, or wishing for a community that truly gets what this journey is like. That’s exactly why we created The Parent Nest: A guided play & connection series \nCreated specifically for infants and toddlers (from sitting age to 18 months)\, this four-week series takes place in the serene morning hours before the museum opens. In this distraction-free setting\, your little explorer can safely investigate their world while you connect with other parents who understand exactly what this stage of life is like. \nEach 45-minute session nurtures your child’s natural development through research-backed activities that: \n\nBuild Neural Pathways Through Movement: As babies roll\, crawl\, and reach\, they’re not just exercising—they’re forming crucial brain connections that support physical coordination and spatial awareness.\nDevelop Pre-Language Skills: Our musical activities introduce rhythm\, repetition\, and simple signs\, laying the groundwork for communication long before first words appear.\nEnhance Sensory Processing: From our “Farm-to-Field” exploration to “Messy Magic” play\, each tactile experience helps your little one understand their world through touch\, sight\, sound\, and movement.\nFoster Social-Emotional Growth: Through guided interactions\, babies learn early social cues while parents discover ways to support emotional development during daily routines.\n\nWeek by week\, we’ll explore: \n\n Rolling & Reaching – Watch your baby’s confidence grow as they master new movements through guided floor play and gentle challenges.\nMusical Conversations – Experience how rhythm and melody spark your baby’s earliest attempts at communication and social interaction.\nFarm-to-Field Discovery – Engage your little one’s senses with natural materials and textures that expand their understanding of the world.\nMessy Magic Exploration – Delight in watching your child’s creativity bloom through safe\, sensory-rich play experiences.\n\nWhile the children are engaged\, we will take time to observe\, connect\, and support one another—building meaningful friendships and a strong community of parents and caregivers. Our experienced facilitators provide a welcoming space for sharing experiences\, gaining insights\, and offering practical tips to support your child’s development at home. \nFree for members! Registration required \nFree Children Under 12 Months \n$35/Per Person- Non-members (We will email you a link to pay)
