RECLAIMING JUSTICE
Maternal Care Behind Bars
Every birthing person deserves dignified care and support. Our pioneering partnership with Arlington County Sheriff's Office brings doula services to individuals in custody while creating meaningful career paths through doula training.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
This first-of-its-kind program in Virginia addresses healthcare disparities by providing professional doula support during childbirth and offering comprehensive doula training to incarcerated individuals. Participants gain valuable skills in birth work, cultural competency, and advocacy—creating opportunities for both immediate impact and future employment. By integrating compassionate care with vocational training, we're building a more equitable maternal health system that serves all communities, while empowering individuals to transform their lives through birth work.
