Fanwood-Scotch Plains-Westfield Here2Help
The Fanwood-Scotch Plains-Westfield Here2Help Mental Health Coalition is pleased to present Bringing Home Baby: How to be a Unified Parenting Team on Tuesday, February 2 from 7:00-8:00 p.m. via Zoom and Facebook Live.
Sixty-nine percent of new parents experience conflict, disappointment and hurt feelings as they navigate the postpartum weeks and months. Learning to co-parent amid sleeplessness and fluctuating hormones is no easy task. But there are proven ways to weather the transition that are backed by years of research. In this informational session Jennifer Perera, LCSW, will highlight how to restore friendship and intimacy to your relationship, navigate conflict more effectively, foster the development of your child during the postpartum months, and create healthy social, emotional and intellectual development in your children.
