Discover the Difference a Doula Makes
Nou tèlman kontan anonse pwojè pilòt doula travay nou an! Kounye a, doulas nou yo ap konplete fòmasyon yo atravè Asosyasyon Pwofesyonèl Akouchman ak Postpartum. Anjeneral sa a se yon fòmasyon 2 ane, sepandan, tout elèv yo ap konplete kou a nan pwòp vitès yo. Nou ap antisipe ke demann sipò a pral depase premye ane pwogram pilòt la. Nou ap planifye pou fòme lòt doulas an 2023 epi kontinye bati pwogram nan pou nou kapab sèvi plis fanmi. Sèvis doula nou pral kapab bay yo p ap disponib jouk nan fen 2022 oswa nan kòmansman 2023 epi yo pral sèlman pou fanmi k ap fè livrezon nan Lower Keys Medical Center.

What is a doula?
A doula is a trained professional who provides continuous, compassionate, emotional, physical, and informational support during pregnancy and childbirth. They do not provide medical care or deliver babies.
Their role is to:
-
Offer companionship and advocacy throughout the pregnancy, labor, and early postpartum period.
-
Provide evidence-based information about birth options and help to make informed decisions.
-
Offer comfort measures like massage and breathing techniques for coping with labor discomfort.
-
Help create a calm and positive birthing environment.
Doulas empower individuals to have positive birth experiences and smooth transitions into parenthood.
Pri an mwayèn pou chak doula se $1,500. Si w ta renmen fè donasyon tanpri klike la . Mèsi pou enterè ou nan sèvis doula nou yo. Nou pral kontakte ou ak plis enfòmasyon.

FAQ
What are the fees for a doula? We believe every family deserves a joyful and supported birth experience, regardless of their financial situation. We are currently able to offer these services on a donation-based basis thanks to generous grant funding. Your contributions will help us sustain this model and ensure long-term accessibility for all families in our community. When you join our program, we ask for a one-time initial donation that is meaningful to you to help sustain our mission. This initial donation helps us cover program operation costs like training, supplies, and administrative support. Your generosity, whatever the amount, makes a difference. Donations allow us to continue providing high-quality doula care and reach more families in our community.
What is a community doula model? Our Community Doula Program goes beyond offering birth support. In addition to being skilled professionals, our doulas are trusted neighbors, friends, and advocates. We understand the unique challenges and strengths of our families. We strive to develop a program that is accessible, culturally attuned, collaborative, and supportive. For this reason, we pair each family with a primary and a back-up doula to ensure continuous support even when emergencies arise. At a minimum, your doula team will meet with you twice during pregnancy, provide continuous support in the labor and delivery room, and one postpartum visit. Each doula has their own style, and they may adjust this to fit your needs.
