We're starting a new co-hort of interns this Spring! If you know a new doula looking for mentorship and experience, tell her to apply.

Successful candidates show professionalism, strong communication skills and a willingness to learn. Interns must have completed a doula training -- they can be working toward certification or already be certified.

From my daughter's former elementary school teacher who now lives in Minneapolis:

"There is a mutual aid request for an expectant mother in crisis in our community who has made the decision to return to her home country after her husband's detainment. I know of your doula work and wondered if you could share with your network"

If you have wondered what you could do to ease suffering in the face of the inhumane ICE actions -- here is a great place to start.

Truly, a year to remember! Thank you to the clients who trusted us to witness your most tender moments — it was an honor to be with you. Thank you to the community members who supported us and showed up with encouragement, collaboration and celebration for our wins. And a HUGE thank you to every doula who works on this team. We built this together. Bentonville Birth Services is what it is because of your dedication, skill and heartfelt presence. Let’s continue to do good work with great love. .the.doula

ICE is detaining pregnant and nursing women, despite a Biden-era policy requiring the department to restrict this practice and track who's in custody.

Pregnant and postpartum women in detention face:

❌ inadequate medical care and prenatal monitoring
❌ poor nutrition
❌ heightened risks of complications
❌ unsafe and unsanitary conditions
❌ trauma and chronic stress.

Detention facilities are not equipped to care for pregnant or postpartum women.
