Bringing Baby Home

Bringing Baby Home: Helping couples stay connected as you navigate parenthood.

The transition into parenthood is an incredible adventure, filled with joy, but it can also present significant challenges. Even the most resilient relationships can be tested during this new chapter of life. Suddenly, you find yourselves responsible for a precious little life without an instruction manual. Add to this the sleep deprivation and increased household duties, and it's no surprise that many couples experience a dip in relationship satisfaction.

2 out of 3 couples report a drastic decrease in their relationship satisfaction in the first year after a child is born.

But it doesn't have to be this way!

We're delighted to invite you to "Bringing Baby Home," a two-day, in-person workshop specifically designed for couples embarking on the thrilling journey of parenthood. This dynamic program, rooted in evidence-based practices from the renowned Gottman Institute, offers a hands-on learning experience that places a strong emphasis on the bond between you and your partner.

Our primary goal is to help you and your partner foster and sustain your connection, even as you navigate the beautiful, yet complex world of becoming parents. We provide targeted guidance and practical tools to nurture your unique bond, while simultaneously developing effective co-parenting strategies.

The workshop is interactive and filled with engaging breakout activities. These sessions offer you a chance to apply newly acquired skills in real time, deepening your understanding and confidence. Furthermore, you'll receive personalized feedback from a "Bringing Baby Home" Educator, who is also a specialized perinatal mental health therapist.

Join us for "Bringing Baby Home,” and embrace this unique opportunity to strengthen your bond and develop skills for your exciting journey into parenthood.
