Bethel Health and Healing Network

Bethel Health and Healing Network We are a support for vulnerable pregnant women and new mums, and a listening ear for everyone.

We deliver two key services: *Bethel Doula Service and Rapha Listening Service*. Our Doula team is lead by an experienced former NHS midwife and we are commissioned by the NHS to deliver services to perinatal women across Birmingham , Sandwell and Solihull. We provide provide practical and emotional support to our service users and can act as birth partners. Our Listening Service provides support for people experiencing anxiety, low mood, loneliness and so on and who need a friendly ear to help them work through their situation. It is a culturally sensitive service with some of our listeners able to speak community languages.

On Saturday 22 November we welcomed a new group of Rapha Listening trainees to Bloomsbury Health Centre 💜

Over the day they explored active listening, empathy and safeguarding, preparing to become Rapha Listening Health Champions who walk alongside people experiencing low mood, stress and loneliness.

A huge thank you to everyone who gave up their weekend to learn how to support our community.

We’ll be running further trainings in 2026. If you live in West Birmingham or the wider West Midlands and would like to volunteer as a listener, find out more and register your interest here:

A room full of people who care deeply about how you give birth 💕

This was taken at Heartlands Maternity Unit, where we joined midwives, maternity staff, link workers and fellow doulas to talk about how we can better support parents through pregnancy, birth and the early days at home.

Our goal is simple: kind, consistent support for every family.

If you’re pregnant or planning a baby and want to know more about doula support alongside your maternity team, feel free to message me.
