Mothers' Support Network has served families in the greater Sacramento area for over 15 years!

Our mission is to support parents in their quest to raise happy, healthy children. Mothers' Support Network is open to all parents who seek to learn more and receive support in caring for their children in a style that emphasizes personal choice and responsibility in a loving manner.

As parents, we seek to develop our own intuition and skills in caring for our children, to maintain or restore their health and well-being. We do not advocate any particular methods or behaviors, but support parents making their own well-informed choices.

Happening this week (Oct. 6-11)

NOTE: Unless stated differently, all classes and events would appreciate a $2 donation. All classes and activities take place at our MSN Parent Resource Center, unless specifically noted. The Center is located at 2460 Avalon Drive in Sacramento (get directions). For more information about these events, please visit our CALENDAR.
