What We Stand For - Certified Childbirth Educators

Our Mission

To provide evidence-based education opportunities to pregnant families throughout Central and Eastern Europe by training and nurturing a community of childbirth educators.

Our Vision

A vibrant community of childbirth educators providing information and support pregnant families need to make their own informed choices.

Our Values

• We facilitate a pregnant family's personal process in pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum; each experience is unique and there is no right way.
• We value the dignity and worth of every person and family, no matter how they define themselves, and provide them with equal access to support and information.
• We value the normal, physiological processes of pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding.
• We value our community of childbirth educators and work to lift each other up.
• We value collaboration above competition, among colleagues and in our communities.
• Giving back to our local communities is a core part of our work.
