Beyond Birthing Community Support Fund

Beyond Birthing helps caregivers prioritize their mental and physical well being during the vulnerable and unpredictable perinatal time. So often a child’s needs come first, resulting in caregivers often lacking time, space, and energy for self-care.

Beyond Birthing has created an all-inclusive approach that provides access to many of the core services needed to take care of yourself so you can better care for your children. When you walk through our doors, you'll have the opportunity to establish a care plan that focuses on you and embraces you exactly as you are. We are here to nurture, educate, support, and transform you.

LET US BE THE VILLAGE YOU DESERVE!

EDUCATION:

We offer a huge variety of childbirth education and infant classes that include options for becoming new parents, newborn fundamentals, child development, feeding your baby through bottle/breastfeeding, sleep (yes, please!) and even a class for new grandparents!

SUPPORT GROUPS:

A huge pillar of Beyond Birthing is its commitment to perinatal mental health wellness. We are so excited to offer over a variety of support groups for all different types of family systems, stages of pregnancy, postpartum and life. Evidence shows perinatal support groups dramatically decrease occurrences of Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADS) and Maternal Mental Health conditions, help new parents collectively adjust easier to their growing family, and increases community connections. After all, we are not supposed to raise families alone.

At Beyond Birthing we want all of our support groups to be accessible to everybody. We know that many are unable to have access to the support & community they deserve because of financial constraints. Beyond Birthing’s goal is to offer these support groups free of charge to anyone in need of financial assistance. With your help, we can cover the overhead cost of hosting these amazing opportunities for support, connection and community. Each group is led by top perinatal professionals in the field who are trauma-informed, provide evidence based resources, and are exceptional at supporting families at a time when they need it the most.
