A time was had. Knowledge was shared. Love was spread. And joy was found!

I absolutely appreciate the collaboration and support the Missouri PQC has offered me since I stepped into this work.
Knowing the people behind the organization and the heart that goes with all their actions makes me amazingly proud to be a community partner.

This Black Maternal Health Week, we're highlighting the power of doulas in supporting Black mothers, in this blog authored by M-Brace Birthing 💜

From advocacy to emotional and physical support, doulas help ensure Black women feel heard, respected and empowered throughout their pregnancy journey — something research shows is critical to improving outcomes.

Providers feedback:

"Thank you so much, your presentation definitely had the most chat engagement and interactions."
"I had no idea doulas did so much."
"Wow this is an under utilized resource and could really be great in our NICU."
"How can I help my patients find a doula?"

All because Children's Hospital gave Doula Lab the opportunity to present on the topic, 'How Doulas Help Reduce Stress and Help with Better Birth Outcomes for NICU Families".

We never stop showing up for families, advocating, and educating!
