NCDHR wants to learn about your experiences about taking care of your baby. Come join in a focus group discussion with other Deaf mothers. This group discussion will be run by a Deaf moderator. We also want to know where or from whom you got information and advice on how to take care for your child. If you have a baby/child age birth to 5 years old, please join us!
This will take 2 hours with light refreshments. Each participant will receive a Wegmans Gift Card worth $25.
Our goal is to find out how we can provide Deaf mothers with better resources and information for breastfeeding and parenting.
The dates and times are: Mon. Nov 16 from 6 to 8 PM or Saturday, Nov 21 either in the morning (10 AM to 12 Noon) or afternoon (2 to 4 PM).
You only need to attend one focus group session. All sessions will be held at NCDHR, 120 Corporate Woods, 3rd floor. Parking is free.
For more information or to join the focus group, contact Matt Starr either by VP (585-286-2721) or e-mail (matthew_starr@urmc.rochester.edu).
