Are you expecting? Recently added a baby to your family? Join us for a discussion of your new identity and role as a first-time parent (or second or third time…). This supportive exploration of the “psychological birth of the parent” will:
• Address common concerns and worries during the transition to parenthood,
• Provide tools and insight for coping,
• Describe when and how to seek support for yourself, and
• Introduce recent neuroscience on parent and baby brain development.
