About This Event

A free event for Black mothers and families, with workshops and community resources, networking, and giveaways! Join The ALLICE Collective on Saturday, September 19th for a day built to pour back into our mothers and their support systems. Come as you are. Sit in on an interactive workshop or wellness discussion, complete a perinatal mental health assessment, or talk with a mental health professional. Visit community vendor tables and learn about available resources, or just skip all of it and walk with us along the outdoor trail while the DJ plays our favorite songs. We also have a mama's respite room, fatherhood lounge, and kids' zone. So, bring the entire family, your friends, and neighbors! Learn more at www.dearmamahtx.com. What to Expect Mama's Circle | Interactive discussions and creative activities 50 mental health and wellness vendors Mama’s Respite Room Kids’ Zone (Ages 4-10) & Drop-In Activities (Ages 11-13) Fatherhood Lounge DJ and refreshments Opportunities to build community SWAG Bags, Raffle Prizes, Diaper Giveaways, and more! Kids' Zone & Youth Activities We want every parent to be able to rest, connect, and take part in the day, so we've created space for the kids too. Our Kids' Zone offers supervised creative activities for children ages 4 to 10, both indoors and outside. Kids ages 11 to 13 can join drop-in activities designed for older kids. Every staff member and volunteer working directly with children has completed a background check. Each child checks in with us, and a parent or guardian completes a consent form before they participate, so everyone is accounted for and cared for. Have a little one under 4? Our Mama's Respite Room includes a nursing area, a quiet, comfortable space for moms and babies to take a break together. Come be present. We've got the kids covered.
