Ophelia's Place offers many different resources for girls and their families. Here are some we offer at least once annually:

Mother-Daughter Group: Celebrate & Strengthen Your Relationship

For mothers who want to learn to support their daughters in strengthening their sense of self and helping them flourish in a sometimes uncertain and confusing world

and

for daughters who want to have some fun while strengthening their relationships with their mother, stepmother, grandmother or other significant female guardian.

This group typically begins in the fall and continues to meet weekly at Ophelia's Place to find connections with other mothers and daughters to participate in fun, encouraging and inspiring activities and conversation. Please call 284-4338 to let us know if you are interested in being a part of such groups in the future!
