Los participantes también obtendrán herramientas para controlar el estrés durante el embarazo y el período posparto, establecer límites con sus seres queridos, pedir ayuda, comunicar sus necesidades e identificar recursos para apoyo adicional cuando sea necesario.

Asegúrese de llegar a tiempo, ya que los participantes que lleguen con más de 15 minutos de retraso no serán admitidos.
