Groups are free but please register on days you plan to attend.

Please don’t come if you or your baby are feeling sick or have been sick. 

We have a weekly Blossom Mom group in Park County.

Blossom Mom is a peer-to-peer support group guided by a skilled facilitator and mother like yourself. This group welcomes new and expecting mothers of all stages who wish to connect on the joys and challenges of pregnancy and parenthood, while also gaining wisdom and support from others in a compassionate and non-judgmental space.

​At Roots, we know parenting is hard. And we know that parenting without community is even harder. You are not alone, come join us with your baby or just yourself.

Please respect our space and other families by honoring our illness policy; please do not come if you or your baby are feeling sick or are still contagious.  

What to expect at Blossom Mom

We use a peer-to-peer support group model that is both structured and unstructured, allowing for all voices to be heard and acknowledged, and for those who wish to be listeners to be respected. You can expect: a friendly, trained peer-facilitator, in a safe and comfy space accompanied by other mothers who understand, and an opportunity to share uninterrupted and free of judgment or advice.

Common themes that come up during our group are, but not limited to:

Meet our facilitators

Erin Mason

Erin is a mom to a fun and spirited 10-year-old, and has called Livingston home since 2008. She grew up surrounded by mountains in Wilsall, Montana, and on a big ranch in North Dakota, so naturally she's always loved wide-open spaces! And wide-open conversations. Erin's here for all the parts of motherhood: the sleepless nights, the proud moments, the meltdowns (ours and theirs), and the little joys that keep us going.

Mandy Johnstone

Mandy is the Park County Early Childhood Coalition Coordinator. She lives on her husband’s family ranch in Shields Valley and is the very proud mother of two very busy teens. When she's not busy carting them around, she enjoys peaceful moments by the river, snuggling her dogs, chatting over tea with friends, reading, singing,  attending my family’s various musical and drama performances and working with young families.
