LAKEPORT, Calif. – Have you ever wondered if you could really help someone in your own community? Could you be a companion to a local mother and baby?

If so, consider joining the Mother-Wise team.

Mother-Wise will hold its next volunteer training seminar from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, April 21, in Lakeport. Lunch will be provided.

Mother-Wise connects local mothers with extra support and resources to help prevent or cope with a perinatal mood disorder.

One in five mothers suffers through an emotional struggle that goes beyond the baby blues. Postpartum depression is often devastating, but with the genuine support of a Mother-Wise volunteer, brighter days are ahead for Lake County mothers and their babies.

Mother-Wise training seminars teach and build listening techniques that can enhance all of your relationships.

If you can help, please call Kati at 707-349-2248 or Jaclyn at 707-349-1210 for more information.
