Hampshire College Birth Collective

Mission Statement
The HCBC aims to provide a supportive and educational space for individuals interested in birth and related maternal practices and issues. The birth collective serves as a forum where individuals interested in pursuing birth-related careers as well as those interested in learning and talking about a process that they have experienced or may experience in their future may come together to share experiences, voice concerns, and learn in a holistic-focused environment. Often, birth rights and concerns are erased from public, medical, and academic discourse; the Birth Collective aims to combat this silence and bring awareness and activism to this important aspect of everyone's lives.
