NBC’s mission is to provide cost supported programming and services for all stages of the reproductive journey including conception, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, miscarriage, loss, abortion, and parenting. We intend to provide continuous education to members of our community and grow a territory wide network of birthworkers who can provide collective care that is grounded in our values.

Our office is located in Yellowknife, NT where we offer various programming including abortion support, support for those who are evacuated from remote communities for their reproductive health care, access to training opportunities for emerging birthworkers, and support for people from underserved communities to access birthwork/doula services. Additionally, we are sexual and reproductive justice advocates and are dedicated to creating positive change for our service users and community.
