Birthing Families Foundation

Birthing Families Foundation is a Canadian Charity whose mission is to fund, facilitate and carry out activities and programs which support birthing families. BFF Programs serve the birthing community with objectives to reduce health disparities for low income, marginalized, racialized, and oppressed populations and for those encountering disability, family violence, and/or addiction. Recent Research has demonstrated that when families, especially those who are at risk, are supported through the entire perinatal period and beyond, they experience improved birth outcomes and enhanced early childhood development.

Through the Birthing Families Foundation Programs and partnerships our goal is to offer families doula support, counselling, food and mentorship to fill the gaps in our system.

With improved support for families, these services will lead to better birth outcomes, the long term health and well-being of children and families, and a community of support workers (doulas) who are informed and supported in order to extend specialized perinatal care out into the community. Birthing Families Foundation supports both families and workers, ultimately strengthening and uplifting our communities as a whole.
