[quote=Anonymous]as someone who did both pace and mamascircle virtually i would highly recommend virtual groups in these times as in person is anyway not happening anyway. 
And while both groups were great resources, they serve different needs. PACE has a lot of structure, each session has a theme related ot having a baby that is very useful for first time moms. even if the facilitator is not great, hearing the experiences of the other women is helpful. Also the group stays in touch later through whatsapp and has been an immense source of support. Something about the way pace is conducted - almost like group therapy , makes everyone open up to each other and hence sets the foundation for open conversation and sharing even later.

Mama's circle is different in that there is no theme to each session but pressing concerns each week are gathered and then discussed. The facilitator Elizabeth does a great job. The women here are not all first time moms so the range of issues discussed could vary accordingly. The group has also stayed in touch through whatsapp and is again a source of support and a lot of information, however in my experience you feel more connected with the pace group just because you have shared so much more with them through the course of the sessions.

Also PACE tries to put you in a group in your neighborhood. Mama's circle is mostly NW DC /bethesda folks. Not that it matters now with everything being virtual but if you want to stay connected beyond the sessions/ meet in a socially distant way if possible etc PACE migth be a better option depending on where you live.[/quote]
