This week we are honoring the end of International Doula Month. We have a panel of doulas on to discuss their experiences of providing care through a pandemic: Chante Perryman, Cat LaPlante, and Rachel Carbonneau.
We’re talking about work:life balance, virtual doula services and other ways to pivot during this time, and how we grow from here into a truly collaborative care environment.
Despite all that has changed in the birth landscape over the last few months, babies are still being born and parents still need support. Here are some of our favorite articles highlighting the important role doulas have played during the pandemic: The Guardian and NPR.
ANNOUNCEMENT:
We have been so disappointed to see how the pandemic has caused many families to feel isolated during birth, and we want to take a stand for increased support. We are so excited to share our Virtual Doula Fund with you all! Please check out this important cause: donate if you’re able, share with those who may benefit from it, and help us improve and expand care through this pandemic.
