Question NAPCS Question

Does anyone know what happened to the National Association of Postpartum Care Services organisation (old website: www.napcs.org )?
They were the first postpartum association to offer certification for Postnatal Doulas (founded in 1988).
Thanks for any info anyone can find about what happened to them!

No, but one of the women I recently met was... I think she said she certified through them in 1998 (?)... Mostly, I was really interested in looking at the history of Postpartum Doulas, organisations here in the USA, and such.
Being such a birth junky, almost everything is interesting to me, hehe!
As far as I can tell, there's no way for me to trace them online, and their last listed number is out of service... It's just a shame that an organisation that was around for so long just dissolved and broke up.
Ahwell!
Thanks for responding! Have a wonderful day!
