I See My Baby Inc. - Women's Wellness and Support Retreat Space

Introduction: This comprehensive proposal outlines the creation of a women's wellness and support retreat space, coupled with an annual global conference, aimed at providing resources and support for women facing mental health challenges, pregnancy-related issues, and the loss of a child. The project envisions not only a physical retreat space but also an annual gathering where women from all over the world can unite, share experiences, and work through their journeys together. To complement these initiatives, we propose the integration of a unique set of resources, including a book titled "I See My Baby," a 10-week course, a motherhood navigation guide, a journal for overcoming life's challenges, and additional literature focused on nurturing families.

Project Goals and Objectives: The primary goals of this project are to provide women with a safe space that offers mental and physical wellness support, resources for planning and unplanned pregnancy, options to conceive, and dealing with the loss of a child. Additionally, the project aims to empower women to make informed decisions about their bodies and health, build a global community of supportive women, and ensure accessibility for all women, regardless of their financial situation. The specific objectives include:

• To create a retreat space staffed with licensed professionals who can offer individualized support to women in need.
• To offer financial assistance to ensure the project is accessible to women globally.
• To provide resources for women who are planning to conceive, are currently pregnant, or have experienced the loss of a child.
• To offer educational resources to help women better understand themselves and their bodies.
• To build a global community of women who can support each other through life's challenges.
• To involve women in the planning and programming of the retreat space and the annual conference.

Practical Steps: The practical steps towards achieving the goals and objectives of the project include:

• Needs Assessment: Conduct surveys, focus groups, and individual interviews globally to identify the specific needs of women facing mental health challenges, pregnancy-related issues, and child loss.
• Creating a Support Network: Establish a global support network that includes licensed professionals, therapists, counselors, healthcare providers, and peer support groups.
• Offering Education and Resources: Develop and distribute educational materials online and in print, covering topics such as pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum care, family planning options, fertility treatments, and adoption.
• Providing Access to Medical Care: Facilitate access to medical care globally, ensuring access to prenatal care, labor and delivery services, and postpartum care.
• Addressing Mental Health Needs: Provide mental health services and support globally for women facing mental health challenges related to childbirth.
• Advocating for Policy Change: Engage in advocacy efforts globally at local, state, and national levels to improve policies related to maternal and child health.

Resource Integration:

In addition to the retreat and conference, we propose the integration of valuable resources designed to support women through various stages of their journeys. These resources include:

• "I See My Baby" Book: A personal journey documented in a book, providing insights and support.
• 10-Week Course: A comprehensive course guiding women from the thought of having a child through conception and navigating motherhood.
• Motherhood Navigation Guide: A practical guide supporting women in their roles as mothers.
• Journal for Overcoming Life's Challenges: A tool for reflection and resilience-building during challenging times.
• Additional Literature: Books and resources focused on nurturing families and fostering a supportive environment.

Annual Conference Enhancement:

These resources will be featured prominently during the annual global conference, offering attendees a tangible toolkit for personal growth and empowerment. Workshops and sessions will be dedicated to exploring the insights from "I See My Baby," delving into the 10-week course, and providing hands-on experiences with the motherhood navigation guide and journal.

We believe that this Women's Wellness and Empowerment Retreat in Jamaica holds immense potential to make a lasting impact on the lives of women, transcending geographical boundaries and cultural differences. It is not merely an event; it is a journey towards resilience, healing, and empowerment.
