Doula & Program Coordinator
I facilitate parenting education and support for justice impacted families in correctional and rehab facilities.
My days are filled with a unique blend of group facilitation, direct client support, and program management. A significant part of my role involves connecting with clients, sharing my journey of overcoming adversity, and empowering them to discover their own strengths. Peer support is vital, helping clients emotionally navigate their challenges and reintegrate into the community, reducing recidivism.
Here's the first step for everyone
To become a prison doula, the first step is to become a certified doula. I also recommend you participate in a peer support training because there is a very valuable expertise in lived experience.
