Upcoming Webinars
Low-Dose Aspirin Webinar Series: Doula Roundtable
Wednesday, December 11, 2024, at 12:00 p.m. PT
This panel discussion will provide an understanding of how doulas can help create a safe and healthy space for women/pregnant people in California. From the specifics of doula training to a doula's potential impact—including teaching women/pregnant people about the risks of preeclampsia and related preterm birth and using low-dose aspirin preventively—the panel will give voice to the important role doulas have throughout pregnancy and birth journeys.
Panelists: Kairis Chiaji; Kamilah Davis, MSW, CMPSS; Nkemka Egbuho, MPH; and Michelle Sanders, CBE, CLEC. Moderator: Lindsay du Plessis, DrPH, MPH.
