The Coping Skills class is the perfect supplement to the childbirth class you’ve already taken. The course is designed to be fully interactive and hands-on, focusing on:

Once everyone has had their babies, we have a reunion party to celebrate and meet all the little ones. One of the greatest joys of the class is watching the moms-groups and playgroups that develop out of the relationships built during our time together!
