Beyond birth, a living library
Beyond Birth Living Library
This programme is set up to help parents who have had unexpectedly difficult or challenging birth-related experiences and need support after leaving the postnatal ward or maternity care. This support can be accessed anytime between 8 weeks to one year after the birth.
We are also able to assist grandparents who would like the support of another grandparent.

Peer support is a very valuable resource. There is something really healing about shared understanding.
- Mother (survey)
Parenthood is hard. Society has lost the set up of providing a village but it's still needed! First-hand experience is more important than theories!
- Mother (postnatal clinic)
There is a huge need for support of new parents. It is a lonely and challenging time and lots of pressure put on you to ‘do things right’.
