The STEP program aims to...

• foster a deeper experience of pregnancy and a greater readiness to welcome the baby;
• reflect on how past difficult experiences may influence current functioning, emotions, experiences of motherhood, and one’s sense of oneself as a mother;
• explore new ways of coping with stress and unpleasant emotions that may arise during pregnancy or in the maternal role;
• share ideas, experiences, and knowledge in a safe and supportive environment.
