Jace’s Journey · Community Engagement

Stronger communities.
Supported families.

It takes a community to surround families with care. Together, we create opportunities to learn, connect, remember, and take action for maternal and infant health.

Connection with purpose

Showing up for families at every stage.

We bring parents, community partners, birth workers, and advocates together to share knowledge and build relationships. Our work centers stillbirth awareness, maternal health equity, and compassionate support after pregnancy and infant loss.

Our community programs

Spaces to learn. Opportunities to connect.

01 · EDUCATION

Birthing Matters

Community conversations and education about maternal health, stillbirth awareness, self-advocacy, and resources for families. We help communities ask questions and connect with information that supports informed decisions.
