Bringing Baby Home - Summer Workshop

Research indicates that around two-thirds of parents experience a significant drop in relationship satisfaction within the first three years after the birth of a child. 

This workshop's goal is to support new and soon-to-be parents to maintain a fulfilling and resilient relationship during this critical time. 

Backed by decades of research from the Gottman Institute, Bringing Baby Home sessions are filled with:

• Information about relationships and infant development
• Thought-provoking exercises
• Opportunities to strengthen your relationship and communication 

Join us to learn how to strengthen the connection between parents to create a loving and harmonious environment for your growing family!

This workshop is led by Child and Family Therapist Melany Barr-Patz (APCC#15275 supervised by Amanda Campbell, LMFT#50600), and is well-suited for:  

• expecting parents
• parents with a baby or young child (0-3)
• partners who are preparing for parenthood in the future.
