Doula Services
The Indigenous Doula Services program is an initiative aimed at providing non-medical support to Native American mothers during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period. The goal is to revive and cherish the time-honored traditions and values of birthing families, helping them along the sacred journey of prenatal care. Currently, there are eight doulas available to provide care.
The program is focused on pregnant women who are receiving obstetric care at Oneida Comprehensive Health Division and are living in Brown or Outagamie counties. Eligibility is determined based on a variety of factors, including social support, transportation needs, medical history or other relevant considerations.
The program’s services include:
- Prenatal visits, with education on topics ranging from birthing options to postpartum recovery, helping mothers feel informed and empowered.
- Support during labor and delivery, providing an extra set of hands along with emotional and informational support.
- Postpartum visits, offering essential guidance for new parents and helping them adjust to life with a baby. They can also help connect mothers with community resources, including local home visitation programs.
The doulas aim to provide valuable individualized support right here in our community, paying special mind to the ongoing challenges Indigenous families face in healthcare. The Indigenous Doula Services program helps to mitigate these issues by offering culturally attuned care, building trust and promoting self-advocacy for clientele. By combining modern solutions with traditional Indigenous birthing practices, the program offers a holistic approach that respects culture while empowering families with the knowledge and support they need to succeed.
