Doula Activism & PoliticsThis forum is for activism efforts, networking and discussing political and social issues, such as circumcision, that impact doulas and their work.
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.

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.
