BirthMatters reduces teen pregnancy through reproductive health education and empowers expectant young adults to raise healthy families through doulas utilizing the community health worker model. There are various ways BirthMatters reaches the larger Spartanburg community through their mission with their programs Celebrating Families and Breastfeeding Friendly Businesses.
