  • MomCares Doula Support Program

    THROUGH THE CREATION OF A TRAINED DOULA NETWORK, MOMCARES PROVIDES PRACTICAL SUPPORT FOR BIRTH AND POSTPARTUM EXPERIENCES AND SERVES AS A LIAISON BETWEEN MOTHERS AND MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS. MOMCARES' HIGH-RISK DOULA CARE INCLUDES PROVIDING BEDSIDE SUPPORT, FACILITATING CLEAR COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN STAFF AND MOMS SURROUNDING INTERVENTIONS, ADDRESSING OTHER MOM NEEDS, ASSISTING WITH CONVERSATIONS AROUND CO-PARENTING, CREATING AN EMOTIONAL SPACE FOR MOMS TO UNLOAD, HELPING WITH LACTATION SUPPORT, AND COORDINATING TRANSPORTATION TO OR FROM THE HOSPITAL WHENEVER NEEDED. TO AID IN WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, WE TRAIN DOULAS IN THE COMMUNITY AND PARTNER WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO OFFER DOULA TRAINING FREE OF CHARGE TO THE PUBLIC. WE STRIVE TO ENSURE THAT CERTIFICATIONS PROVE FRUITFUL FOR INDIVIDUALS INTERESTED IN A CAREER SHIFT INTO BIRTHWORK. WE MAKE CONNECTIONS FOR INDIVIDUALS IN NEED OF A DOULA AND OTHER COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE INTERESTED IN SUPPORTING POSITIVE PREGNANCY OUTCOMES. MOMCARES PROVIDES WORKSHOP AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES TO MEDICAL STAFF AROUND IMPLICIT BIAS IN THE MEDICAL FIELD AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR THEIR PATIENTS.
