THE SUPPORT NETWORK:
Role models for moms are key. Without role models to serves as guides, cheerleaders, encouragers and supporters, motherhood can be a very lonely place.
As a working mom, it is hard to find role models. Most working moms are at work when the events where stay-at-home moms are able to network with one another take place. Playgroups and classes take place almost exclusively during the day.
Mom @ Work--Providing opportunities for connection through a mentor program for moms coming back to work after maternity leave and through local working mother networking events. While there are all kinds of virtual communities for mothers out there, nothing can take the place of face-to-face interaction.
- Be a Mom @ Work Mentor--Helping working mothers make the transition back to work after maternity leave.
- Attend a Mom @ Work Networking Event--Not your traditional networking event--this one is about you and your children
