Healthy Parents & Babies pairs pregnant people with doulas who provide information and support during pregnancy, birth and the first few weeks of life.
Our doulas help you:
- Develop healthy prenatal routines, relaying advice on nutrition, health and wellness tips, resources and more.
- Prepare for a successful pregnancy, labor and delivery by creating a birth plan, explaining what to expect when in labor and delivery, and sharing pain management options.
- Establish strong bonds between you and your baby by providing breast/chest feeding support, bonding tips and resources.
Once your baby is born, you will have an option to enroll in our home visiting program. If you enroll, an assigned home visitor will help your new family continue building a strong relationship, providing information and coaching based on your family’s goals and needs.
Our Head Start and Early Head Start community-based agencies provide comprehensive supports—including early learning, nutrition, home visiting, health and wellness services—that address the immediate needs of families, while also helping them plan for future success.
