Community After Birth Community After Birth bridges the gap in postpartum care by providing support, education, and advocacy. The founders were inspired to start their organization after both having challenging experiences in finding the physical, mental, and emotional help that they needed after giving birth. They have virtual support circles for expecting parents and those recently pregnant. Please find out more about their virtual and in-person events at communityafterbirth.org
