For new or soon-to-be parents who are looking to strengthen their relationship.
Are you an expecting or new parent, navigating the many changes and challenges of early parenthood?
It’s common for new parents to become absorbed in their baby’s world, but there’s one vital element that often gets overlooked: the emotional connection between you and your partner.
Research has proven that the relationship with your partner is the cornerstone of your baby’s development. It’s not just about raising a happy, healthy child; it’s about cultivating a loving, harmonious environment for your growing family.
The Bringing Baby Home Workshop is your guide to strengthening these vital connections.
Developed by renowned relationship parenting experts, Drs. John and Julie Gottman, the BBH program is perfect for those who are:
Interested in having a baby
Expecting a baby
Already parenting an infant or toddler (age 0-3)
What is the Bringing Baby Home Workshop
Bringing Baby Home (BBH) is an educational two day workshop for pregnant couples and families with children up to three years of age. It was designed and created by relationship experts, Drs. John and Julie Gottman and is dedicated to improving the quality of life for babies and children by strengthening the parental relationship.
Why is it so important?
The Gottman’s research demonstrates that when couples become parents, there is a significant decrease in their relationship satisfaction. Further research has shown that relationship discord and conflict have a profound negative effect on the couples’ infants and toddlers.
The Bringing Baby Home Program was developed in order to support families during this challenging, transitional time. Dr. Gottman’s research shows that couples who have participated in the Program experience:
-
A significantly lower rate of postpartum mood disorders and depression
-
A decrease in relationship hostility
-
A higher level of relationship satisfaction
-
A decreased likelihood of divorce
The content of the program evolved from Dr. Gottman’s 40 years of marriage and family research and is designed to teach parents to:
-
Increase friendship in their relationship
-
Deal effectively with conflict

Keep dads involved in infant care and parenting
