empower & advocate

Through education, resources, and support about holistic family care, families can make informed choices and be empowered to advocate for themselves.

Our current advocacy goals:

• Care providers will become more sensitive to the needs of families around pregnancy, birth, and postpartum and provide compassionate care accordingly.
• The number of unnecessary invasive interventions during birth will decrease in our community.
• The number of women feeling traumatized by their birth experiences will decrease.
• The number of women experiencing postpartum depression will decrease in our community.
• More families will successfully breastfeed their babies.
• Holistic care will be supported in the community and co-exist more harmoniously with the medical model system.
• Families will come together to share resources and support each other as a community.
• The community at-large will support growing families.
• Working parents will have better access to childcare, breastfeeding support, and flexible schedules.
