Mission

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.
