Centering Parenting
Centering Parenting is MAHEC's preferred model of care during your child's first year of life.
Centering Parenting brings 6-8 moms, partners, support people, and their same-age infants together in community with their healthcare providers and other parents who are experiencing similar things at the same time.
Centering Parenting fosters a safe and supportive environment to ask questions and creates lifelong bonds between families.
