Describe the Organization's Mission:
Part 3 - Line 1
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.
