A doula is a non-medical professional who provides physical, emotional, and informational support to pregnant people before, during, and after childbirth.

Join Lesley Loor, doula and alumna of the Beta Chapter of Latinas Promoviendo Comunidad/ Lambda Pi Chi Sorority, Inc at Columbia University (Spring 2009), for an introductory session on doula work and the powerful role doulas play in supporting birth.

This event explored themes surrounding advocacy, education, and culturally responsive care as it pertains to strengthening maternal health and birth outcomes in our communities. This workshop is helpful to all interested in doula support regardless of gender expression or identity.
