Workshop for couples

Workshop: Bringing baby home

Even the most robust relationships are strained during the transition to parenthood.
Our research-based “Bringing Baby Home” workshops prepare couples for life with baby and helps them be the best parenting team possible.

Lack of sleep, never-ending housework, and new financial concerns can lead to profound stress and a decline in marital satisfaction — all of which affect baby’s care. Not surprisingly, 67% of new parents experience conflict, disappointment, and hurt feelings.
