The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) Institute for Community Health Innovation is looking for expectant mothers in 41 Arkansas counties to receive free services from doulas-in-training.
The institute is seeking mothers who are expected to give birth before Dec. 1. Accepted mothers will receive the names of doulas-in-training to contact and select for free doula support during their pregnancy and after their baby is born. The doula trainees are not UAMS employees; however, they are partnered with a mentor as they gain experience and work toward certification.
