Dads to Doulas - Virtual Informational (Summer Cohort)

Dads to Doulas aims to equip black men and expectant fathers with the knowledge and skills to advocate for their families from pregnancy through infancy. By providing doula-level education, we strive to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates.

Dear Fathers recognizes the profound impact this can have on our community and strives to empower our families from the very start. Our one of a kind doula program is specifically designated to assist, encourage, support, de-stress, maintain, and educate black men and fathers in Maternal and Paternal care.
