Hosted by: Do K(no)w Harm Wellness LLC in partnership with Moore County Parks & Recreation

Program Type: Adult caregiver wellness and movement meet-up

Audience: Moms, caregivers, and adults with children welcome under caregiver supervision

Program Purpose

Mama Meet & Moves: Afternoon Reset is a low-pressure wellness meet-up designed to support moms and caregivers through gentle movement, stroller-friendly walking, simple strength or mobility options, education, and community connection.

This program is intended to promote general wellness, movement confidence, community support, and practical healthy habits for caregivers and families. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition.

Adult Caregiver Program

This event is designed as an adult caregiver wellness program. Children are welcome to attend with their caregiver, but they are not enrolled as active participants in a children’s fitness program.

Caregivers are responsible for supervising their children at all times before, during, and after the event. Do K(no)w Harm Wellness LLC, Moore County Parks & Recreation, and any affiliated staff or volunteers are not responsible for childcare, child supervision, or individual child safety during the program.

Children must remain with or near their caregiver unless otherwise directed by the caregiver. Caregivers are responsible for monitoring children around playgrounds, trails, parking areas, sports fields, restrooms, equipment, other participants, and any public park or recreation spaces.

Voluntary Participation

Participation in this event is voluntary. By attending, participants acknowledge that they are choosing to participate in light physical activity, walking, mobility, stretching, and/or wellness education at their own discretion.

Participants are encouraged to listen to their bodies, move at their own pace, modify exercises as needed, and stop any movement that causes pain, dizziness, shortness of breath beyond normal exertion, bleeding, pelvic pressure, chest pain, severe discomfort, or any concerning symptoms.

Participants are not required to complete any movement, exercise, walk, or activity offered during the event.

Medical Disclaimer

This event provides general wellness education and light movement instruction only. It does not provide medical care, physical therapy, pelvic floor therapy, mental health treatment, lactation care, nutrition therapy, or individualized medical advice.

Participants should consult with their physician, midwife, physical therapist, or other qualified healthcare provider before participating if they are pregnant, postpartum, recovering from birth or surgery, managing a medical condition, experiencing pain, or unsure whether physical activity is appropriate for them.

Postpartum participants should follow the guidance of their healthcare provider regarding return to exercise. Being “cleared” for activity does not mean every movement is appropriate for every person. Modifications are encouraged.

Pregnancy and Postpartum Considerations

Pregnant and postpartum participants are welcome, but participation should be based on individual comfort, medical guidance, and personal readiness.

Participants should stop activity and seek medical guidance if they experience warning signs such as dizziness, chest pain, vaginal bleeding, fluid leakage, painful contractions, calf pain or swelling, severe headache, pelvic heaviness, worsening pain, or any symptom that feels concerning.

This program does not include internal pelvic floor assessment, hands-on medical treatment, diagnosis, or individualized rehabilitation.

Assumption of Risk

Participants acknowledge that any physical activity, including walking, stretching, bodyweight exercise, mobility work, and outdoor movement, carries some risk of injury or discomfort.

Potential risks may include, but are not limited to: muscle soreness, falls, trips, slips, weather-related discomfort, uneven terrain, contact with other participants or children, aggravation of a prior injury, or other unexpected events.

By attending, participants voluntarily assume the risks associated with participation for themselves and any children in their care.

Outdoor and Facility Safety

Participants should come prepared for the event environment, including weather, terrain, and public park or facility conditions.

Participants are encouraged to bring water, wear comfortable shoes, dress appropriately for the weather, and bring any supplies needed for children, such as stroller, carrier, snacks, sunscreen, diapers, or comfort items.

Events may be modified, relocated, postponed, or cancelled due to weather, unsafe conditions, facility needs, low registration, or other circumstances at the discretion of Do K(no)w Harm Wellness LLC and/or Moore County Parks & Recreation.

Caregiver Responsibility for Children

Children are welcome, but caregiver supervision is required at all times.

Caregivers are responsible for:

Monitoring their children’s location and behavior
Ensuring children do not interfere with other participants’ safety or movement
Supervising children near roads, parking areas, trails, playgrounds, fields, restrooms, equipment, and other public areas
Bringing any needed child supplies
Removing children from an activity area if needed for safety
Understanding that the event does not provide childcare or drop-off supervision

No child may be left unattended at any time.

Personal Belongings

Participants are responsible for their own personal belongings, including strollers, bags, phones, water bottles, wallets, keys, and child-related items.

Do K(no)w Harm Wellness LLC and Moore County Parks & Recreation are not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged personal property.

Illness Policy

Participants are asked not to attend if they or their child are experiencing contagious illness symptoms, including fever, vomiting, diarrhea, unexplained rash, or other symptoms that may pose a risk to others.

Participants should use their best judgment and consideration for other families when deciding whether to attend.

Respectful Community Expectations

This event is intended to be welcoming, inclusive, and supportive.

Participants are expected to treat other attendees, children, staff, instructors, and public facilities with respect. Harassment, unsafe behavior, disruptive behavior, or inappropriate conduct may result in a participant being asked to leave the event.

Photography and Media

Photos or videos may be taken for promotional or documentation purposes only with appropriate consent.

Participants who do not wish to be photographed or have their child photographed should notify the organizer before the event begins.

No participant should photograph or video another participant’s child without that caregiver’s permission.
