Our Birth Doulas provide three prenatal, labor, and delivery support, and three postnatal visits to families enrolled in the program. Families can remain enrolled in Birth Doula Services until their baby is six months old. Our Birth Doulas are knowledgeable in birth, lactation, and parenting.
For families seeking Birth Doula Services, we’ll connect you with a doula three months prior to your estimated due date.
Our Community-based Outreach Doulas expand the role of a birth doula by providing more frequent visits and continuing services until the child’s second birthday. Our Community-based Outreach Doulas are expertly trained to provide comprehensive culturally responsive support prenatally, during birth, and into early parenting.
They promote the parent-child relationship through evidence-informed practices such as Promoting First Relationships. We are proud to be the first Community-Based Outreach Doula program to be nationally accredited through HealthConnect One.
