Black Birthing Health Program Overview
Homeless Children's Network’s (HCN) Black Birthing Health Initiative (BBHI) is a comprehensive, vital community wellness program aimed at addressing the unique needs of Black/African American birthing individuals and their families in San Francisco. It mitigates, and where possible, removes barriers to care for Black/African American birthing persons, their children, spouses/partners. These barriers include the stigma associated with mental illness, distrust of the healthcare system, absence of culturally competent providers from diverse backgrounds, and lack of insurance or underinsurance. BBHI will contribute to ensuring that every Black/African American mother and birthing person has a strong support system in
preconception, throughout pregnancy and childbirth, and postpartum. We envision a future of quality, universal maternal mental health access with equitable outcomes for all Black/African American San Franciscans and their families. This initiative is designed to promote mental health and wellness, provide client-centered and culturally tailored care, and ensure accessibility to essential services. BBHI offers a comprehensive range of services tailored to the unique needs of Black/African American birthing individuals and their families in San Francisco.

Please accept that HCN is a vibrant community that has a legacy that is of interest to you, and is also prompted to grow steadily, and with the respect of what has been done well central in the conversation.
