Nurturing Program for Prenatal Families®

The Prenatal Program® is a nine-session group-based program (each session 2 1/2 hours). Parents learn ways to bond with their baby by examining the adjustments to being pregnant, discussing the physical and emotional changes occurring, strengthening the bonds between the partners, learning ways to nurture oneself, and preparing for parenthood.

Parents also examine their parenting attitudes, learn non-hitting ways of discipline, practice infant massage, and develop their empathic awareness of their needs and their infants' needs.
