Celebrate and connect with our ever-growing Central Vermont village 💜

Join us for It Takes a Village, Good Beginnings’ annual family-friendly community event and fundraiser!

This free, open-to-all gathering is designed especially for families in the pregnancy and early parenting years — and anyone who loves and supports them.

Hosted in partnership with the Central Vermont Perinatal mental health coalition,  It Takes a Village raises funds to support Good Beginnings’ free programs while increasing awareness of perinatal mental health.

We’d love to see you there!
