Sunnyside Up Youth Pregnancy Services

Description

Sunnyside Up Youth Pregnancy Services became a vision for Cicely Wilson when she supported her first pregnant teen in 2017. Cicely saw a lack of support for youth and was determined to create a safe place of support for youth ages 13 to 21 who felt alone, unsupported, or afraid during their childbirth experience.

With the idea that no one should experience birth alone, in 2021, Cicely made the leap of faith and hope and incorporated Sunnyside Up Youth into a non-profit organization in an effort to support more youth on a larger scale in more communities. Sunnyside Up Youth provides pregnancy support and new parent education to youth ages 13 to 21. We offer in-person labor and postpartum support to local residents of Nashville, TN and virtual classes nationwide.

Sunnyside Up Youth work with a volunteer support team of trained, experienced and certified full spectrum doulas, lactation specialists, mental health specialists and educators to provide physical, emotional, informational and mental support to the families we serve. developed a volunteer base of new and experienced doulas giving back to the Nashville Community. Sunnyside Up Youth Pregnancy Services continues to grow and support more families in Nashville, Tennessee each year.
