SUMMARY:Birth Trauma Support for Black\, Indigenous\, People of Color (BIPOC) Birthers
DESCRIPTION:4th Wednesdays at 7:30PM (EST)/4:30PM (PST) \nLed by trained peer facilitators\, this group is for any Black\, Indigenous\, Person of Color (BIPOC) who has experienced trauma (mental and/or physical) during childbirth. Did you feel unsupported during childbirth? Did you feel unheard or felt a loss of control? Have you been grieving your birth experience? You deserve support. Birth trauma is based on your perception of the experience\, and no formal diagnosis is needed to join this group. Some common symptoms\, but not all\, that can occur after birth trauma are upsetting memories\, avoiding talking about the event\, and having negative thoughts/feelings about the event. BIPOC birthers can also experience trauma related to racism\, discrimination\, oppression\, and specific cultural views and beliefs. This group is a place to discuss these experiences with other BIPOC birthers and facilitators. You can be at any point post-delivery\, from 1-week to many years. This group is specifically focused on birth trauma and connecting with others\, so you can know that you are not alone\, and you are not to blame. While your story has so much value\, in this space we will not explore birth story details as they could be triggering to others. We encourage you to reach out to a licensed healthcare provider to process your birth story.  In this group\, we will discuss the effects of trauma\, our emotions\, and coping skills. \nThis group is not for: \n\npartners or non-birthing parents\nthose who experienced a pregnancy or infant loss (please join one of our loss groups for support)
