Resources
We believe in the importance of taking care of your mental health. There are many resources available to help, and these are a few we would like to share.
“Connecting Threads is so vitally important as it will help bring an even greater number of birth experiences to the forefront, creating greater awareness for this topic to help shift birthing culture even further.”
