Virtual Parent Groups in the Greater Madison Area

Parenting can feel isolating in the best of times, add social distancing to the mix and that leaves many parents unable to access the community and support they need. Thankfully we are living in a digital area where virtual groups are available! Below I’ve listed groups that have been created by non-profits and businesses in the Madison area. If you know of others please share them in the comments. Stay well and stay connected!
