Group Care Global‘s mission is to promote group health care for pregnant and parenting people, infants, partners, and their families to improve health and well-being.

To support this mission, Group Care Global collaborates with international partners to integrate Centering-Based Group Care into health systems.

As a US-based independent non-governmental organization, we commit to continuing to work in partnership with colleagues around the world to ensure that local knowledge, supportive relationships, and connection are at the forefront of how care is delivered and experienced. We value the lives of people wherever they live, respecting and celebrating the diversity that exists throughout the world, including differing abilities, sexuality, gender identity, religion, race, ethnicity, age, language, and economic and immigration status. We strive to strengthen meaningful collaboration based in equity, inclusion, and human dignity.

Community Building

A Blueprint for the Newborn Neighbourhood

One of the three core components of Group Care is Community Building, both among participants in the group itself, as well as with the larger community where they live, work, and raise their families. The Blueprint is a community approach that connects (future) parents with neighborhood resources. Because it takes a neighbourhood to raise a child!

World Prematurity Day is a reminder of the quiet strength held in neonatal units around the world, tiny hearts fighting, parents holding on to hope, and health workers giving everything they can. These early days shape a lifetime, and the presence of a caring community can make all the difference.Group Care Global works to build that kind of community. Our model supports families not only throughout pregnancy, but also through Postnatal+, the first two years of a child’s life when guidance, connection, and shared learning are especially important. These moments matter. No family should feel isolated, especially when a baby arrives too soon.The 50x50 campaign helps sustain this mission and brings support to more places, one group at a time.By joining us, you help ensure that families of premature babies feel held, informed, and supported from the very start and through their earliest years.Stand with us.
