We’re here to serve you! We were born to DO IT.
We approach the work by providing emotional support and education to moms during and after pregnancy. We make sure to advocate for mothers in the birthing room and share holistic tools like meditation, healing circles, and yoga. We also help with facilitating connection to essentials like meals, transportation, and childcare so mothers have a bit more time to care for themselves.
What We DO
-
Healing Circles
Our healing circles are an intentional community space that helps to make way for learning, community engagement, and growth for the mommies and families we aim to help nourish and support.
-
Case Management
We provide the support you need navigating legal matters, social service entitlements, and coparenting support including referrals, resources, or mental health services.
-
Speaking Engagements
We host different talks and speaking engagements to teach Medical providers, Black moms, dads, communities, and more about our work and the work connected to giving birth. We talk about the spiritual components, challenges, and what should be brought to your attention. We are Black mom advocates for life.
-
Self Care Kits
Our self-care kit includes tea, positive affirmations, snacks, nail-grooming tools, hair ties, and occasionally voice recorders for moms needing to leave the hospital or record their story.
Depending on what the mom wants and is open to, the kits may also contain lactation cookies, yoga, and mediation items.
-
High-Risk Doula Care
Our high-risk doula care includes bedside support, helping communicate between staff and moms surrounding interventions, accomplishing other mom needs, conversations around co-parenting, creating an emotional space for moms to unload, lactation support, and transportation to or from the hospital whenever needed.
-
Doula Training Program
To aid in workforce development, we also train doulas in the community. We partner with community organizations to offer doula training free of charge to the public. MOMCares provides workforce development and support ensuring that certifications prove fruitful for individuals interested in a career shift into birthwork.
-
Delivery
We connect you with individuals in need of a doula and other community organizations that are interested in doula support. After certification,
MOMCares look forward to onboarding exemplary students under contract to jump start your role as a doula in the community. We also teach you about grant writing and connect you with nonprofit organizations. Also, we connect you with lactation support to provide further insights to the moms you’ll help. We teach our doulas that being a doula is being an entrepreneur.
