Participants will also gain tools to manage stress during pregnancy and the postpartum period, set boundaries with loved ones, ask for help, communicate their needs, and identify resources for additional support when needed.

Please ensure you arrive on time, as participants arriving more than 15 minutes late will not be admitted.
