North Vancouver mother Ashley James is among the scheduled speakers at postpartum awareness event Mommin’ Ain’t Easy: A Conversation About Emotional Wellness, Tuesday, July 26 in Richmond.
The free event is being presented by the Vancity Mom Squad, led by new moms Christie Ertner and Kimi Nomura Schwab, aiming to create and grow a community of like-minded modern moms. Through the initiative, they hope to bring awareness to the latest and greatest baby products, services and events so local mothers can be supported in making the best decisions for their families, according to a press release.
James, a mother of one and an expectant mother again, will address those in attendance, engaging in a real and honest conversation around motherhood.
Other speakers include Georgie Hutchinson, a counsellor and group facilitator with the Pacific Postpartum Support Society, and Eran Sudds, founder of The Good Mother Project. In addition to listening to the featured speakers, mothers can meet fellow moms, listen to candid stories and learn about the community resources available to them. Refreshments will be served and the event will feature prize giveaways.
Mommin’ Ain’t Easy will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. at Richmond’s City Centre Community Centre, 105-5900 Minoru Blvd. To register, visit vancitymomsquad.eventbrite.com.
