Doula Programs: Cultural Competency
Doula program administrators are often seeking resources to assure that doula volunteers working with the program are offering culturally competent care. The Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Library at Georgetown University has updated its Culturally Competent Services Resource Brief. This guide contains links to federal agencies and other organizational websites, along with descriptions of resources. Also featured are selected resources developed by the MCH Library including an annotated bibliography on culturally competent services, links to minority health organizations and non-English-language materials and resources, and information on racial and ethnic disparities in health.
The Doula Programs blog provides a forum for doula program visionaries and implementers to consider common challenges, ask questions, and learn from each other. Patty Brennan is the author of The Doula Business Guide: Creating a Successful MotherBaby Business.
