Cape Cod and Islands
The Mission of the Perinatal Wellness Support Center* is to create a landscape of equitable and accessible support for mothers and birthing persons. To enhance healthy outcomes related to maternal mental health and wellbeing during the Perinatal period. We achieve our mission through education, clinical and emotional support and building community.
We support families, inclusive of their race, ethnicity, immigration status, national origin, creed, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, family structure, primary language, ability, or socio-economic status.
The Vision of the Perinatal Wellness Support Center is to impact and improve perinatal care & support. To create a culture where mothers and birthing persons are met with dignity and compassion. To normalize the experiences of motherhood so they can speak openly. To create a reality where feelings of fear, shame and guilt are eliminated through education, support and community. To create a world where mothers do not have to pretend to be well. A world where they can come as they are.
