TYPES OF SUPPORT AVAILABLE:
Doula
A doula is a skilled birthing professional offering mothers, birthing individuals, and families compassionate support through emotional, physical, and informational assistance during the prenatal, birth and delivery process and the postpartum stage.
Some programs you may be matched with:
Doula Integration & Awareness Project (DIAAP)
This project aims to raise awareness about the invaluable contributions of doulas and their potential to significantly enhance maternal care outcomes. By seamlessly integrating doulas into the hospital care team model, our aim is to foster collaborative, patient centered care, ultimately increasing the likelihood of positive maternal and infant health outcomes. If you are birthing at Atrium Health Navicent-Baldwin, we can match you with a doula!
Our mission is to provide unwavering support to Black birthing individuals in Metro Atlanta & surrounding counties throughout their pregnancies. We offer free doula services, childbirth education, and a wealth of comprehensive resources.
Building Perinatal Support Professionals
Through our Building Perinatal Support Professionals program, we will carefully match you with a professional based on your location and preferred level of engagement. It's important to note that HMHBGA doesn't directly offer perinatal support services but ensures appropriate referrals to professionals who have completed our program. Upon accepting the referral, you will establish a direct relationship with your chosen professional, and HMHBGA will be released from any liability associated with this relationship.
