Monthly Support Group for Working Mothers
Dr. Smiley also facilitates a monthly support group for working mothers. Balancing a career and a family can feel like an impossible challenge.

- Feeling guilty for time away from children
- Finding a good daycare/preschool
- Addressing family relationships with spouse or other children
- Concerns about nursing/sleeping
