Core Values
Cultural Sensitivity
Though childbirth is an experience connecting women from every culture in the world, childbirth is not void of culture. Embrace seeks to understand birth cultures and find ways to integrate a refugee's home culture into her birth experience in America.
Empowerment
Birth has the potential to be an empowering or invalidating time in a woman's life. In it's work to help women achieve empowering birth experiences, Embrace provides refugees information about the options and procedures they will encounter so they can make informed decisions for themselves and their child.
Partnership
Recognizing that there is a wealth of knowledge, experience and resources in the Atlanta community, Embrace intentionally seeks partnership with refugees, volunteers, refugee resettlement organizations, care providers, doulas, childbirth educators and others across philosophical, ethnic and faith backgrounds.
