Afloat e.V.

About us

Afloat e.V. is a non-profit organisation which provides support to mothers* who identify as either immigrant, international, expatriate or foreign across Germany from pregnancy through every stage of parenthood.

Our mission is to remove the linguistic, cultural, and societal barriers to finding quality mental health care and provide international mothers* with the support system that they deserve.

Afloat is a non-profit organisation that offers both in-person and virtual volunteer-led support groups to international mothers* across Germany. We at Afloat recognise that not only will 1 in 7 mothers* experience a perinatal mood and anxiety disorder (PMAD), but also that migrant mothers* suffer more frequently from PMADs. In response, we serve as an international coordinator for Postpartum Support International, providing information about PMADs so that international moms* across Germany can connect to the resources they need.

Our services are funded by donations and inclusive to anyone who considers themselves a mother*, father* regardless of gender identity or family structure.
