So you're gonna be a dad...

Preparing for Fatherhood

Taught with my husband, Atish, we’ve designed this class as an opportunity for fathers to connect, learn more about how best to support your partner & stay connected in your relationship, ask any questions you have, prepare for transitions into fatherhood, and practice some basic newborn care skills.
