#BlackMaternalHealthWeek Spotlight: Queens Healthy Start Doulas! #Doulas assist families during pregnancy, birth and postpartum to ensure new and expecting parents are educated and prepared for the addition of their new baby.
Our doulas provide families in Queens with a wide range of services, like education on healthy pregnancy, advocacy during the hospital/birth center experience, physical comfort during labor and delivery, and emotional support throughout the parents’ journey through home visits.
The doulas serve as a liaison between historically disenfranchised birthing people and healthcare providers, ensuring that their participants are respected and listened to during birth. #BMHW #ReproductiveJustice #MaternalHealth #HealthEquity #BlackWomenLead #PublicHealth
