Becoming Parents Program
At Becoming Parents Program, Inc. (BPP), we believe that the relationship between parents or the “couple relationship,” is the nest in which children grow. The strength of this nest has a profound
impact on the health and well-being of not only children, but also their parents, family and society as a whole. BPP prepares the couple relationship for the challenges of new parenthood by providing a comprehensive program that includes empirically-based relationship skills, anticipatory guidance, and research data on infant communication, growth and development. “Committing to Our Children by Committing to Each Other.”
Description:
We are a federally funded research site through the "Strengthening Healthy Families" project and we working with low-income couples to provide them with communication skills, infant development knowledge, and help with other obstacles in their life (employment, housing, basic necessities, baby items, breast pumps, etc). We also host events for the couples like date night, zoo outings, financial and legal panels, and infant development workshops. To help couples be able to attend the events and workshops we host, we provide couples with financial supports in childcare, and transportation.
