Mission
Since 2004, birth roots has addressed the harmful reality that early parenting and childhood experiences in the us are undervalued and under-resourced. Our classes, events, resource guides, and strategic partnerships serve our mission to create a culture of support for families that begins in pregnancy and remains throughout the critical window of early childhood development (ages 0-3). Strategies we employ include: implementing a community supported parenting model that builds relationships and skills in early parenthood; providing opportunities to critically examine the cultural, generational, and societal context in which we parent; and increasing maine families' access to perinatal resources.
Programs
1 program
Shared identities - the shared identity program at birth roots provides monthly facilitated peer support for parents who share key experiences or identities (like black mothers, solo parents, neurodivergent families, queer parents, and fathers), intentionally fostering connection and belonging during perinatal and early parenthood stages. Launched in late 2023, these groups are tailored to the unique needs of parents and parents-to-be in underrepresented or under-supported identities. In 2024, we facilitated a total of 42 groups and received 553 family registrations.
