Support
Group Events
The Featherweight Club holds a morning tea on the first Wednesday
of each month at Mercy Hospital for Women. It provides an opportunity
for parents whose babies are currently in the nurseries to meet
and chat on an informal basis with parents whose babies who have
been through a similar experience with their own children. Children
are welcome to attend and this gives the new parents a chance to
see that “graduates” of the Special Care Nurseries can
eventually grow to be normal, healthy children. The morning provides
an opportunity for parents who may be struggling with a baby only
recently discharged from hospital to chat with others about the
special experience of looking after and feeding such a special baby
in the first few months at home.
The Featherweight Club always welcomes new members and is currently
seeking active volunteers to assist with building our support group
network and our fundraising projects. If you would like to help
with either of these activities or attend a morning tea, please
contact the Featherweight Club.
