Who We Are

Essential Perinatal Connections was founded in 2024 in Charlotte, NC. We are a community resource that aims to decrease the barriers mothers, babies, and families experience during the perinatal stages. Dedicated to providing families with the care and support they deserve, our services integrate social work principles with community involvement, creating a comprehensive support system that empowers families. We recognize that the transition to parenthood can be overwhelming, and our tailored services are designed to provide reassurance and guidance, promoting positive birthing and mental health outcomes.

MISSION

Our mission is to provide compassionate, comprehensive, and culturally sensitive perinatal social work services that empower and support the mental health and well-being of expecting and new parents.

VISION

Our vision is to build trusted perinatal connections worldwide, where mothers and families have equal access to perinatal education and resources, ensuring positive birthing outcomes and family well-being.
