NEW! THE PRE AND POST NATAL PROGRAM

The Mindful Parenting Program has begun a group for expectant and new, teen moms, dads and their babies.  These groups are being offered at the Independent Study School in Culver City and will provide an opportunity for the teens to share their common experiences in a safe, supportive and educational environment.  The group facilitators will help the members focus on a greater understanding of themselves as well as their baby’s experience.

The group format will combine information on infant development, necessary practical skills and facilitate the deepening of a healthy attachment between parent and baby.
