"Bringing Baby Home" for expectant couples

When couples are expecting a child they prepare. Maybe they set up a nursery? Maybe they think about a name? Or, maybe they begin to purchase all of the needed supplies for a new child. Still, do most couples prepare for the changes in their relationship that are associated with the transition to becoming parents? Research shows that an alarming 70% of couples report a decrease in marital satisfaction after the arrival of their first child. Having a baby is a joyous occasion but it also comes with its own set of challenges. The Bringing Baby Home Program is designed to give parents researched-based and research-tested, information for constructively addressing the relationship changes couples experience as they transition to parenthood. Through lecture and fun, informative activities, couples will learn the skills to effectively communicate, regulate conflict as well as ways to encourage healthy parenting. The Bringing Baby Home Program is designed to help children as well by to promoting healthier emotional, social, cognitive and physical development. This 2 day workshop is offered by Gabriel Chernoff, LCSW-C a therapist who specializes in working with adults and couples. Gabriel is a certified Gottman "Bringing Baby Home" trainer who offers this carefully developed, comprehensive and research based program for parents designed by the Gottman Institute, national leaders in couples therapy.
