Share

We’re excited to introduce a brand-new space built just for you — our GCMH community of parents, caregivers, professionals, and advocates who care deeply about maternal and child health.

Whether you’re navigating the joys and challenges of motherhood, raising a child with special educational needs (SEND), or supporting others in your community, this platform is your safe, supportive corner of the internet.

🤝 Why We Built This

Over the years, we’ve heard your stories, answered your emails, and felt your desire for deeper connection. So, we created something that goes beyond just reading — a space where you can interact, share, and learn from people who truly get it.

Our new community platform is:

  • Private and safe — built with trust in mind
  • Interactive — with real conversations, not just comments
  • Supportive — because we all need someone who understands


🧡 Who It’s For

This community is especially for:

  • Parents and guardians navigating maternal health
  • Families raising children with SEND or complex needs
  • Health professionals and advocates who want to support and learn

No filters. No judgment. Just connection.



✨ What You Can Do Inside:

  • Join topic-based groups
  • Ask questions or share stories
  • Attend virtual circles and support sessions
  • Connect with others across the globe

We’re building something beautiful here — and we’d love for you to be a part of it.
