March 21st is Down Syndrome Day. The date, 3/21, is significant because it represents the triplication of the 21st chromosome, which causes Down Syndrome.

Haley Jamin of Uptown Doula, is making a difference in her community by volunteering with First Call Parent Mentor Program for the Down Syndrome Association of Greater Charlotte.

This program is all about offering support and guidance to families who are navigating the journey of Down syndrome, especially during pregnancy and birth.

Every pregnancy and diagnosis is unique. This program matches parents like Haley, who received a prenatal diagnosis, with families going through a similar experience.

“Mari Leckel (pictured left) created a very nurturing space where we felt comfortable asking all kinds of questions and produced really fruitful conversation. Much of the weekend’s lectures were led by our questions and what mattered to us so there was certainly enough time to address everything that was specifically important to each of us.”

Doulas of the Roundtable Podcast Episode 12:
What We Are Taught: Why It Matters

What a doula is taught shapes the way they move through the birth world and interact with other professionals in the field.

For example, some doulas are taught not to interact with providers and to be more of a ‘fly on the wall’. Other doulas are taught to build collaborative relationships with providers to best support their clients.

Join Angela, Eva and special guest ProDoula CEO Randy Patterson, as they dive into what doulas have historically been taught and why it matters.
