Bringing Baby Home

The transition to parenthood is a huge milestone in any relationship.

Although this transition is filled with excitement, approximately two-thirds of parents will experience a significant drop in their relationship quality and will have a dramatic increase in conflict and hostility within three years after the birth of a child.


Conflict and hostility within the parents’ relationship can have lasting negative effects on a child’s emotional, social, and cognitive development.

The Bringing Baby Home program can help prevent that! This educational workshop is a research-backed program that helps parents understand:

  • What to expect during the transition to parenthood

  • Child development in the first year

  • Strategies to coordinate with family / caretaking members

  • Ways to improve communication

  • How to strengthen friendship, intimacy, and conflict regulation skills

  • Signs of perinatal mood, anxiety, and adjustment disorders and support/treatment options.


    In a random clinical trial, the data showed that parents who participated in the Bringing Baby Home workshop had:

  • Less “relationship meltdown”

  • Higher relationship quality

  • Less interpersonal hostility

  • Markedly less incidence of progressive symptoms of postpartum depression (22.5% compared to 66.5% in the control group)

and their babies:

  • Had fewer language delays at one year old

  • Responded more positively to their fathers’ soothing

  • Expressed more smiling and laughter during family play

  • Showed less distress in response to limitations (such as having a toy out of reach)


If you are planning on having a child, currently expecting, or have had a child within the past 3 years, this workshop is for you!

This 6-week program will be held over Zoom on Sundays from 9:00 am - 11:00 am.

The cost of the program is $250/couple.

The next session begins on Sunday, May 7, 2023.

Registration closes April 23rd!
