Sadly, I do not have a 'network". I don't think anyway.

I belong to the CARE network out of Milwaukee, and we have all of the above, except Dr.s and shiatsu therapists (and only because no one who does shiatsu has joined)

If there had been an "other" option, I could have chosen that one, I have the pregnancy care center [crisis help] in my network.

People in other professions that you know, and refer to, or have exchanged information or business cards with.

I am actually working on a "resources" list for my clients with these kinds of professionals on it...I know that is a new requirement for DONA certification, but I bought my packet before that was a requirement...so I am making a list any way. I think this is a big part of "informational" support that we offer our clients, esp since my last couple clients were new to the state & had almost no connections to the area.

Ok in that case...public health. Drs do not much seem to care.
Other than that I am lazy with networking.
