Becoming a parent changes everything—including your relationship.
At Black Girls Mental Health Collective, we know that building a strong, loving partnership is one of the best gifts you can give your baby.

Our Bringing Baby Home workshop helps expecting and new parents create a thriving emotional foundation—for yourselves, and for your child.

This isn’t another parenting class about swaddles and schedules.
It’s about protecting the emotional bond that makes parenting easier, calmer, and more joyful.

Strengthen your relationship.

Strengthen your family.

Gottman Institute research shows that 67% of couples experience a significant drop in relationship satisfaction during the first three years after having a baby.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.
When you invest in your partnership, you create a stable, nurturing home where your baby—and your relationship—can thrive.
