Asiyah Women’s Center is seeking a compassionate and experienced
Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) or Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) to lead our
Mothers & Little Ones Support Group
, a trauma-informed program designed to create a safe, supportive environment where mothers and their young children can strengthen their relationships, build community, and heal together.

The Social Worker will plan and facilitate weekly Mommy & Me-style therapeutic support groups combining guided discussion, parenting support, mother-child bonding activities, emotional wellness education, and opportunities for mothers to build supportive relationships with one another.
