Dear Reader,

As the seasons shift, we’re reminded of the importance of connection and renewal. Now more than ever, being in community is essential—not just for the families we serve, but for ourselves as birthworkers. This season brings opportunities to deepen our knowledge, share wisdom, and support one another in meaningful ways. Whether through learning, mentorship, or simply gathering in shared spaces, we hope you’ll join us in strengthening this network of care. Let’s continue showing up for each other and for the families who need us most. 💜
