Following our Membership Meeting, we will be kicking off our first Lawton Parenting Support Group. It will take place on 3/21 at 7pm in the Lawton Library.   From facilitator Kate Kiely: “Join us for a monthly parenting support group where you can share your experiences, learn new strategies, and get and give support in a safe space. When we raise kids in the context of community and connection, we learn to be more compassionate to ourselves, supportive of one another, and more present for the kids in our lives. We’ll exchange resources and read and discuss a parenting book together. It’s also a great way to make and strengthen connections within the Lawton community. The group will be hosted by certified coach and facilitator Kate Kiely.” Â
