Get to Know Us
Birth Support, Education & Beyond began as an LLC dedicated to providing compassionate and personalized perinatal care to youth and young adult families in CT. Driven by a commitment to offering free support and addressing maternal and child health disparities, our mission soon surpassed the limits of a traditional business model. Recognizing the potential to make an even greater impact, we are now transitioning operations to Birth Support, Education & Beyond, Inc., a nonprofit organization. This evolution allows us to expand our reach, deepen our services, and strengthen our ability to empower families through education, advocacy, and holistic support. As we continue this journey, we remain steadfast in our mission to create a community where every family has access to the care and resources they deserve.
