The Caring Connection

Purpose: Expecting a baby and becoming a parent can be a time of great joy, but it can also be a very challenging and emotional time and it is common to feel overwhelmed, feel a dip in confidence and struggle with the adjustment and new responsibilities of parenthood. 

​

Outcome: The Caring Connection shares four women’s experiences on how the Parent-Infant Relationship Service helps primary caregivers’ and their infants build a stronger relationship, which lays the positive foundation for health and well-being that can last a lifetime.
