A nonprofit community organization running postpartum support groups, family events, and a local activities newsletter serving families with babies and toddlers in Amsterdam.

Amsterdam Parent Project

We've all heard the phrase "It takes a village." For new parents — especially expats becoming parents abroad — the village doesn't come without effort. But where to start? We cover local Dutch postpartum care and end with an exercise on finding and filling gaps in support, so you're not starting from scratch when you need it most.

This discussion is led by postpartum expert Danielle Bensky as part of the First Year Program.
