About the Group Sessions
Becoming a parent brings new questions at every stage, and it’s easy to feel like you’re navigating pregnancy, birth, and those first chaotic months without a map. Many parents find themselves searching for answers between late-night forums and conflicting advice, when what they really want is time with someone who actually knows.
Led by OT&P’s own midwives, physiotherapists, dietitians, psychiatrists, occupational therapists and speech therapists, this complimentary seven-part series offers practical, evidence-based guidance through every stage of early parenthood from late pregnancy to your child’s second year.
Light snacks and refreshments will be served.
Who would benefit

At this workshop you will
-

-
Ask your own questions in a live Q&A after each session
