ICAN Monthly Chapter Meetings Held at The Healing Group
We are so happy to be able to support ICAN's (International Cesarean Awareness Network) Salt Lake chapter by hosting their monthly meetings. ICAN is a nonprofit organization committed to improving the outcomes of moms and babies by preventing unnecessary cesareans through education, providing birth recovery support, and promoting access to the option of VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean).
The Group will be facilitated by Whitney McNeil. She writes, "I have been a midwifery student and doula since 2007. I had my first experience with cesarean sections when my son was born in February 2008. Having been planning on a homebirth, I truly understand how disappointing an unexpected birth outcome can be. I feel starting up this chapter will be an invaluable resource for women in our area. It is my goal to reach out and help women acheive better birth outcomes and take back control of their pregnancies. It is my pleasure to announce the start of another ICAN chapter!"
Women will be sharing their birth experiences, as well as providing understanding ears and compassionate shoulders to lean on.
The monthly meetings will be hosted by Birthing Your Way in Orem, every 2nd Monday from 7-9 pm and by The Healing Group in Salt Lake, every 3rd Monday from 7-9 pm.
This month's topic is "Getting To Know You" and will be held in Orem on Monday, March 8th and in Salt Lake on Monday, March 15th. Nursing babies are welcome.
