FREE for you and your family
Every first-time pregnant woman or prospective adoptive parent is entitled to attend FREE pregnancy and parenting group discussions led by a trained facilitator. These group discussions give you a chance to talk about a range of topics related to your pregnancy and caring for your infant and to ask any questions you may have.
There are also user-pays classes available for mothers who have the choice, or who are not first-time mothers.
