There are various community perinatal groups but in many scenarios people from Black communities do not always have the privilege to relax and be their most authentic self in these spaces, because they are white lead and white dominated. Our groups are an option for Black women, by Black women.
We provide
mental health, wellbeing and peer support;
relevant, accurate information on medical conditions that disproportionately effect Black people during pregnancy;
culturally considered and appropriate perinatal information;
access and signposting to professionals.
These groups are vital for the community and break down barriers - in both directions - by providing a safer environment for the community and professionals to engage.
