TYParents + TYP Professional Development are thrilled to co-present our last workshop in our 2024 PD Workshop Series: Navigating Parental Leave | Planning for a Smooth Transition to Working Parenthood!
About this Workshop:
Having a baby is such an exciting time! . . . And it comes with many new things to figure out, like navigating parental leave, postpartum planning or preferences, and the transition to working parenthood. Experiencing smooth transitions throughout the parental leave and the postpartum period goes beyond filling out paperwork and birthing a baby—it takes some planning. To experience a fulfilling and restful postpartum time, as well as a smooth transition to a working parent it involves thoughtful attention to these three phases of parental leave: before, during, and upon returning to work.
Join Jen, a RETAIN Certified Parental Leave Coach and DONA certified postpartum doula, as she helps you navigate this wonderful, yet complex season of your life. She will guide you through the 10 touchpoints of parental leave planning and share key considerations/strategies to keep in mind as you prepare for life with your baby. Bring questions and an open mind! All are welcome if you are hoping to become a parent, are expecting, or are already a parent.
