Reporting & Accountability
This page offers links to resources that help you understand your rights, access perinatal-specific support, and provide clarity around how to report harm caused by a provider. At Heart and Sol, we strive to be intentional about the resources we provide. We do not know that every provider, organization, or resource is safe or trauma-informed. However, any resource we provide continues to be carefully vetted.
