Published 13 days ago • 1 min read

Dear friends, colleagues, and birthkeepers,

A quick reminder that we’re meeting today at 12:00 CET for our collaborative circle for action to connect, exchange ideas, and plan next steps around the Postpartum Call to Action.

Here’s the Zoom link for our meeting:
​https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86015720777?pwd=t7wdCvxWYq3cAcD9IlYEX2fPMQeGre.1​

Looking forward to seeing you soon!

The Postpartum Call to Action is more than a statement — it’s a roadmap. And it’s up to us to bring it to life.

​​Today's Agenda

Purpose: Connect, align, and identify first collaborative steps to bring the Postpartum Call to Action into practice.

  1. Welcome & Intention
  2. Connection Round
  3. Resonance with the Call to Action
  4. What’s Already Happening
  5. From Vision to Action
  6. Next Steps

Every one of us — doulas, midwives, doctors, psychologists, parents, policy advocates — witnesses how postpartum care falls through the cracks.

We see the exhaustion, the silence, the invisible wounds. And we also see the potential — the transformation that happens when mothers are held, heard, and supported.

The Call to Action gives us a shared framework. It outlines concrete steps to make postpartum care comprehensive, continuous, and compassionate — everywhere.

Now it’s time to act.

​

🌐 Accessible to All — Now in 9 Languages

To make this movement truly global and inclusive, the Postpartum Call to Action is now available in:

Bulgarian, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish, and English.

🕊️ Swedish and Hungarian translations are coming soon.

​

​

❤️ We Can Do This — Together

Postpartum is not a private struggle. It is a public health priority.

When we invest in mothers, we invest in the health and future of our entire society.

Together, we can make postpartum care a standard, not a privilege.

Together, we can ensure every family emerges from this tender window stronger, not broken.

Let’s not wait for another report, another study, another tragedy.

Let’s take this document — and turn it into daily practice, visible change, and policy transformation.

​

With gratitude and determination,
​The Postnatal Support Network Team

Happy Equinox, Reader! On this day of perfect balance, we are invited to look inward and reflect.

The most nourishing harvest isn't a to-do list; it's the strength we find in each...
