Join ITUP’s Doulas Listening Sessions – Elevating Maternal Health Voices!

Register for our last session Thursday, May 7th 1:00 p.m., here!

These sessions offer a unique space to discuss the critical role of doulas in improving maternal and infant health outcomes while identifying solutions to increase utilization of the Doula Medi-Cal benefit.

ITUP is hosting community-based listening sessions to gain deeper insight into the barriers doulas face and to develop actionable solutions. Past ITUP Health Equity Collaborative participants were encouraged to attend to help ensure diverse regional perspectives shape the discussion.

What Attendees Will Gain from These Sessions:

• Share their experiences as a doula, advocate, or healthcare professional.
• Help identify solutions for doula recruitment, training, and infrastructure.
• Connect with stakeholders and policymakers working to advance maternal health equity.
• Contribute to shaping policies that support and sustain the doula workforce in California.

 

Learn about the maternal health crisis, state initiatives to improve outcomes for families, and the vital role of doulas in providing equitable, accessible care for marginalized communities.
