A lifeline for new and expecting parents
Are you expecting a baby or adjusting to life with a new baby ? Would you like some ideas on working better together as parents ? Or know others who could benefit ?
Family Foundations is a FREE 10 session program that supports new parents ( couples , those parenting with someone else like an ex-partner , a grandparent or friend ) to strengthen their relationship as a parenting team .
We understand that adjusting to a new baby can be challenging as well as joyful .
The program offers time out from daily struggles and helps expecting and new parents build better connection , communication and relationships .
“ We so looked forward to the Family Foundations sessions – the parent coaches were funny and helpful , and we learnt how to manage our baby rather than argue or give in to exhaustion ! We still use the strategies they showed us 2 years later .”
