LAKE COUNTY, 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, then please consider joining the Mother-Wise team.

Mother-Wise will hold its next volunteer training seminar Saturday, Nov. 3, at Lake Family Resource Center in Lakeport, from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with breakfast and lunch provided.

Mother-Wise connects local mothers with extra support and resources to help prevent or cope with a perinatal mood disorder, because one in five mothers struggles with painful emotions that go beyond the baby blues.

Postpartum depression can be devastating, but with the genuine support of a Mother-Wise volunteer, brighter days are ahead for Lake County mothers and their babies.

This is your chance to be involved with a great group of people and one of the most rewarding volunteer programs in Lake County.

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.
