Community-based Doulas

Community-Based Doulas is a perinatal support model that integrates trained, culturally congruent non-clinical professionals into underserved communities to provide continuous, holistic care during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, distinct from clinical or hospital-based doula services by its embeddedness in community networks and its focus on reducing systemic inequities in maternal outcomes.
