REGISTER TODAY: September’s Monthly Webinar: Mindfulness for New Parents

This program is a collaboration of health professionals and support staff from the DSA of DE and Perinatal Prana. This will serve as a pilot program as we monitor impact. Families of a child with Down syndrome of any age are encouraged to attend our virtual monthly support calls on the following topics:

• September 11 at 7pm – Mindfulness for New Parents

Share your journey with others to form an understanding of various topic areas. These calls will be led by Perinatal Prana professionals and attended by DSA of DE Outreach Staff. No pressure to share, listening only is accepted.

Due to licensing of our medical professionals, individuals must live in the state of Delaware or be in the state of Delaware during the time of services. If you live outside the state but are willing to travel, we encourage you to participate.
