EXPECTANT PARENTS GROUP
Korean immigrant and Korean American couples who are preparing for children and family are welcome here!
Join Us for an Empowering Journey!
This group will help expectant parents prepare for intergenerational communication, emotional connectivity, self-management, and coping strategies in the early stages of the family! The group is held in Korean and English. Registration begins in March and September 2023, and both the spring and the fall seasons are held for 8 weeks.
Korean Community Service Center invites you to join the Korean American expectant parents class, a program supported by the City of Seattle. This class is for Korean immigrant and Korean American couples who are preparing for marriage, married and preparing for pregnancy, or pregnant and expecting and reside in the Seattle area. This group is open to 1st, 1.5 and 2nd generation Korean Americans who have immigrant and bicultural experiences, to journey together through the difficulties and joys of pregnancy, childbirth, parenting and family transitions.
This support group will be facilitated by healthcare professionals, parent education specialists, and a licensed mental health counselor. Through this support group, families can learn how to build healthy and happy families and babies and address conflicts between family members and generations that may arise in this time of transition. Families will prepare for a healthy birth, become aware of prenatal and postpartum mood disorders, and create a healthy parenting team. This is also an opportunity to build community with other local expecting Korean American parents!
This group will be facilitated in Korean and or English language, based on assessed needs, and will be open to the first 6 families/couples who register.
