Asheville’s The Climb – Fun, Connection & Community Walk

Calling all parents! Bring your family to Asheville’s annual Climb event where you can spend time connecting with other families, share stories, find support, and have a little fun. This is a FREE event, hosted by Postpartum Support International and WNC Perinatal Emotional Health Network.

New this year, The Littlest Birds will teach a babywearing workshop. Then local mom, dancer, and physical therapist Laura Scott will lead a babywearing dance class! Wear your baby or bring your toddler while you groove to some music in a comfortable, indoor space. No experience or dance skills are necessary- this is just for fun! Moms, dads, and all caregivers are welcome!

* Please bring any carrier of your choice for the dance class. If you do not own a carrier and cannot borrow one- we will try to have some extras on hand!

For older siblings, there will be face painting, a bouncy house, and a playground. All ages are welcome!

The gathering will close with a short community walk to promote awareness about perinatal mental health. Survivors of postpartum mood disorders and local perinatal care providers are also encouraged to join!
