About the Workshop
Featuring Moms Hierarchy of Needs expert Leslie Ford and Tending Author Amy Henderson, brought to NYU by Komae Cooperative Childcare.
Like Maslow’s Hierarchy, mothers face a hierarchy of needs, where the foundational needs of the family routinely overwhelm self-care, self-interests, and even career. Let’s change that!
In this two-hour workshop, we investigate how work and motherhood have transformed through the pandemic, using research results and breakout rooms to dig deep into the diverse individual journeys beyond the statistics.
We welcome you to bring your coffee and your thoughts. Also, your children, because we get it.
