We are offering six series of Safe & Sacred Pregnancy: Black Mamas Glowing Through COVID-19 for pregnant and birthing people residing or working in Los Angeles County. Participants can register independently or with a support person. We highly encourage the presence of dads as the support person. Other support people may include: spouse, partner, parent, sibling, grandparent, friend, midwife, doula or anyone else that will be in the room during your labor and delivery.
Mental health practitioners are welcome as the support to the birthing person only. Each series of Safe & Sacred Pregnancy consists of 4 meetings. All meeting times are 5:30pm-6:30pm and will take place on Zoom.
Learn more about an optional opportunity to share your experiences as a participant in the Safe & Sacred Pregnancy virtual support network. Click here for more details.
