Can you answer these 3 super quick questions, and help me provide the support York families need?
Hi!
My name is Mel, and I have been providing practical and emotional support to expectant and new parents since 2000. A person who does this work is known as a doula (doo-lah).
I have a specific interest in protecting and nurturing mental and emotional health, and wellbeing, in pregnancy, birth and beyond - we know that 1 in 3 people experience an aspect of becoming parents as traumatic (2019) and that “43% of the women met the criteria for clinically relevant depression and 61% met the criteria for anxiety” since the pandemic (2021). This is NOT ok!
I am feeling called to train others to do this incredibly important work, and would love to know if this is a service that you would like to see available in our community.
Pregnancy, Birth & Beyond
Can you answer these 3 super quick questions, and help me provide the support York families need? It’ll take 1 minute or less!
What is the number 1 thing you wish you could have support with, in your experience of pregnancy, birth and beyond?
Would you like to have access to trained birth and postnatal doulas whose focus is on supporting your emotional health and wellbeing in the transition to parenthood?
Would you pay for a service that informs, supports and empowers families in the pre and postnatal period - and whose training is accredited and internationally recognised?
I am so grateful for the time you’ve taken to fill this short questionnaire. If you’d like to be involved in this project, please feel free to get in touch. Thank you for your time and feedback!
