Uptown’s Community for New Moms, Built to Last

Sugar Hill New Mom’s Group

Welcome to SHMOMS!

This group was organized to help new moms create an ecosystem of friendship and support during one of the most vulnerable (and scary) moments in a person's life. Over 100 mothers in Harlem and beyond have been served by this group since it began in 2018. New cohorts begin seasonally. Our next cohort begins April 3, 2025.

Details

Who

The group is ideal for Moms with babies ages 0-3 months. We welcome moms with babies who are slightly older as well.

What

Each week the group engages in a theme-based conversation focused on the many aspects of becoming a mother -- navigating your new identity, childcare, self care, building community, and establishing work/life balance.

Where

We meet via Zoom on a weekday morning per the availability of our facilitator(s). Registrants will receive a Zoom link once they've registered.

“I would honestly recommend [this group] to anybody. I think anyone really could benefit, or any new parent could benefit from being in the community with other new parents.”
