WORKING TOGETHER

Our partners

I believe we can do more for families when we work together. BirthBliss partners with organisations that share our values and support women and families in ways a doula course cannot on its own.

Through these partnerships we hope to raise awareness of birth trauma, support refugee and asylum-seeking families and help more parents feel listened to as they start family life.

These are the organisations we work alongside.

The Happy Baby Community

The Happy Baby Community is a London-based charity supporting pregnant women and new mothers who are seeking asylum or have refugee status, many of them a long way from home.

Run by volunteers, it offers essential baby supplies, emotional support groups and guidance on the UK asylum system. Its groups help mothers feel less alone and give them somewhere to make friends.

The charity also speaks up for refugee and asylum-seeking families and raises awareness of the challenges they face, so that every mother and baby can have a good start, wherever they come from.

The Birth Trauma Association

The Birth Trauma Association (BTA) is a UK charity supporting women who have had a traumatic birth. It offers understanding and practical guidance to anyone living with the effects of a distressing birth.

The BTA works to raise awareness of birth trauma among healthcare professionals and the public and campaigns for changes in maternity care that help prevent it.

Its website, helpline and volunteers share information on PTSD after childbirth, ways of coping and stories from women who have recovered, so that nobody has to go through it alone.
