Birth Circle Impact Survey

We really need your help.

Below is a link to a new survey that is intended to measure The Birth Circle's impact. It has 10 quick questions and is completely anonymous, and results will be used to help secure vital grant funding. We need at least 200 responses to get an accurate measure of our impact, and we need them as soon as possible, so please take a few minutes to help. We cannot emphasize enough how important this is to us, to our work, and to birthing families in our area. Thank you in advance for your time and input.
