Even if this isn’t your first kiddo\, come learn about the neurobiology of attachment and sustaining connection for a lifetime! \nLed by Licensed Professional Counselor\, Kristin Morgan who has 12 years of experience in perinatal mental health. Kristin has also been trained in Transformative Couples Therapy and believes in the power of secure attachment. \nDate: Saturday\, September 19th\, 2026\nTime: 1pm – 4pm \nLocation: 172 S.
