PEPS is a non-profit organization that offers a wide variety of services, with their most popular being the new-parent support group. They offer both day group and evening groups. The evening groups are great, because then both parents can be involved and it accommodates us working moms! Groups are put together based on geographic region, so you get to meet other new parents in your area. Though my initial experience with PEPS was negative (they lost my registration information and I wasn't placed in a group until my son was 3 months old...and other details I won't get into), the staff ended up being very accommodating in the end, and my experience has been great. We had different speakers come to talk to us about a variety of topics (nutrition, infant development, childproofing, etc) that I probably wouldn't have had access to otherwise. My group still meets and I definitely recommend PEPS to anyone having a baby in the Seattle area :)
