Offerings for Perinatal Professionals
Perinatal Professionals need support too! We hold people through the intense and transformational perinatal period and yet are often isolated in the work we do. We offer opportunities to connect within and across professions and also learn together to better support our communities and clients.
What: Bi-monthly and in-person meetups at EBBC for birthworkers who are seeking community, support and accountability.
In our first meetup of each month, we’ll connect in community to process our in-person work with clients, offer skills sharing including business support, and hear what we might need from one another to allow our work to be sustainable.
In the second meetup of each month, we’ll be intention setting for the month ahead, creating personal and professional road maps to create actionable steps to move towards our goals.
