Our Connecting the Expecting PEPS Group focuses on how adding a baby to your family will affect your relationships, family life, and regular obligations such as work or school. 

Local expectant and adoptive parents can attend this in-person program, solo or with a partner. Each session will be led by a Group Leader trained in inclusive facilitation and will include time to share highs and lows and weekly topics for discussion. 

Discussion topics include: 

• Preparing for Baby’s Arrival
• Work, Child Care, and Family Life
• Self-Care and Perinatal Mood Disorders
• Relationships: Family, Friends and Partners
• Parenting Identities and Family Culture
• The Fourth Trimester

This is also a chance to connect and create community with other families expecting a baby! Meetings include time for informal socializing and connecting with other parents.
