Good Beginnings of Central VT

Good Beginnings was founded in 1991 by three mothers in Northfield, VT who recognized a growing need for support for new parents due to the combined effects of shorter postpartum hospital stays and a diminished role for extended family and other traditional sources of support. Since that time, our volunteer Postpartum Angels have provided families throughout Washington County, as well as in neighboring regions of Orange, Lamoille, and Chittenden Counties, with respite, companionship, and connections to community, as well as help accessing resources for breastfeeding and parenting support, postpartum depression, and basic needs. We also provide parenting workshops, baby-wearing consultations, and opportunities for parents, caregivers and infants to socialize -both at our office's 'Nest' space in Montpelier as well as at other meet-up locations. Our grassroots model connects families with community supports; our mission and programs are inspired and implemented by the communities we serve.
