Connecting With Other Survivors
Find Your Support: Join the Sisterhood After AFE and Birth Trauma
Suffering an AFE and birth trauma can feel extremely isolating. You are not alone! Connecting to others who understand can be an important part of your healing journey. Come join the sisterhood!
AFE Foundation Specific Support
The AFE Foundation offers several ways to connect with others. Our Facebook support groups help survivors and their family members connect. We hope you’ll consider joining. As we say, “Welcome to the sisterhood!”
AFE Foundation LCSW Facilitated Small Group Meetings on Zoom
AFE Foundation LCSW Facilitated Small Group Meetings on Zoom
Monthly we offer group support facilitated by a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and birth trauma expert. It does not offer specific individual cognitive behavioral therapy. However, it allows you to connect in a more personal way and learn from one another. Visit our Events page to find available groups.
AFE Foundation Survivor Directory
To connect with others who share similar experiences, we offer a protected and searchable directory. To get access to the directory, contact us.
Community Based New Mom Groups
There might be support groups in your community. These could be at hospitals, community centers, libraries, or through social media. These are wonderful ways to connect with other moms in your area. Be mindful that members of these groups will most likely have had uncomplicated pregnancies and births. They may not understand some of the difficulties that surround birth trauma and surviving an AFE.
