Birth Companions Community Center
COMPAÑERAS DE PARTO PARA LA COMUNIDAD SAN FRANCISCO
COMPANIONS FOR THE COMMUNITY OF SAN FRANSICO
Our mission is to cultivate community healing through multilingual doula care, education, pregnancy support, and ancestral practices with respect for culture, race, immigration status, religion, gender, and beliefs. Low-income and immigrant families face challenges beyond pregnancy and we provide no-cost doula services, parent education, material donations, and food distribution for new parents and families. We are changing the system by training Doulas from the community they serve, bringing in cultural practices, understanding, and a career path that benefits their families and communities.
