Mindful Birthing and Parenting Foundation

Mission Statement

The MBPF's mission is to support the global accessibility of Mindfulness-Based Childbirth and Parenting (MBCP) programs and approaches across all cultural, socio-economic, religious, and political orientations, influencing programs, models of care, and policies that will improve the health and wellbeing of expectant women, babies , partners, and families in the critical early years of life. The MBPF does this by providing field-leading education and resources for expectant families and high-quality, rigorous professional trainings for MBCP instructors. The MBPF is committed to contributing to the evidence-base for mindfulness practice as a whole and MBCP in particular, through the support of rigorous scientific research and the establishment of strong ethical guidelines and training processes for all MBCP and MBCP-inspired programs.
