Many parents worry that going back to work will be hard on their new baby or even harm their connection. This class will share the latest information from experts about how to make the most of your time with your baby to connect and help them feel close and safe.

Many working parents struggle to figure out a healthy work life blend. We recognize there shouldn’t have to be a choice between work and caring for your family. The McKinsey Report* tells us that parents, “…are facing the choice between falling short of pre-pandemic expectations that may now be unrealistic,
or pushing themselves to keep up an unsustainable pace.” *

We recognize that a work-life blend right now can seem impossible. Technology makes you accessible 24/7 and fear about job loss might drive you to work longer hours. Compounding stress from the never-ending workday can harm family life, health and overall happiness.

This interactive online workshop will provide you with the opportunity to consider the current research related to work-life blend and identify realistic approaches to address your most important challenges.
Participants in this session will recognize that you can’t “do it all” and be able to:

- Apply strategies that manage boundaries and support recovery
- Recognize the importance of instrumental and emotional social support and plan action steps to develop these resources.
