Not Just The 'Baby Blues'
Bringing a baby home is often considered one of the most joyful moments in a new parent's life. However, for some, this experience isn't always filled with excitement. In fact, for some, these less-than-ideal feelings can begin during pregnancy, and continue into the postpartum period.
This is a webinar for everyone and anyone. While we often hear of mothers experiencing PPD and PPA, fathers can also experience it. We'll also be discussing how to support one's partner through this time.
Navigating Back to Trust After Trauma Webinar
Have you ever wondered why it is difficult to step out of unhealthy relationships even when we know they are unhealthy? Join us as our experts focus this conversation on how certain dynamics play out to cause trauma for one or many people in a relationship, the losses they suffer, if there are any valuable gains in the process at all, and most importantly - how to learn to heal and repair the most important relationship we will have in this life - the one with our own self.
