Everyone deserves postpartum care and support 

We're closing gaps in

postpartum care

Whether you are welcoming your first, have experienced a loss, or have done this before, our organization works to ensure you and your loved ones have the care and support you need during the postpartum recovery. 

We believe everyone deserves care, dignity, and access to supportive services and resources following childbirth or loss. That means changing the way our care systems work here in the United States. 

Community After Birth is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing support, education, and advocacy for the expansion of postpartum care. 


We achieve this through providing support services, educational programs, groups and community circles, and grassroots advocacy.
