What is Community Supported Postpartum?

 
Postnatal care and recovery is one of the most under-discussed and under valued aspects of healthcare in the US, as well as many other countries. Not only are we falling short to support the extraordinary physiologic changes after birth, our culture and systems literally don't create space to acknowledge the huge life changes that come with welcoming a baby.

Time and time again, new parents and postpartum care providers are made to feel invisible.

Community Supported Postpartum groups are local classes for parents and babies to be seen, to be acknowledged, to build community and to be resourced with support to recover and flourish.

Our groups are also for building a thriving ecosystem of fellow postpartum care providers.

Isolation is challenging enough for the new parents we support, and isolation is real for post-natal professionals too.

Just like newborn parents, we have also felt invisible and undervalued.
Health care systems don’t include our work in typical insurance plans. We have been labeled as superfluous or even elitist in our services. The fact is this kind of care and support is vital to families and communities to flourish.

We believe in new parents getting all the support they need to recover and flourish.
Just like the families we serve; we also need a community of support.

The community supported postpartum group model helps you create a collective of post-natal caregivers while simultaneously creating the necessary web of support that new parents need to thrive.
