As a Certified Gottman Educator Val McKinley and Prioritize Relationships® have a variety of workshops available. For more information on the Gottman Relationship Institute please visit http://www.gottman.com/. Below is a description of our most frequently requested workshop, Bringing Baby Home.
The Bringing Baby Home Program®, developed by Dr. John Gottman, gives parents researched-based and research-tested tools and information needed to constructively address relationship changes that can be brought about by the birth of a child. The goal of the program is to improve the quality of life for babies and children by strengthening their families.
