Community Centered Support.
BirthWell Partners
Community Doula Project
hello!
BirthWell Partners is a non-profit organization based in Birmingham, Alabama. We train community doulas and provide free and reduced cost doula support to under-resourced pregnant individuals in Alabama.
What is a Doula?
A Doula (Doo-luh) is a person who is trained to provide informational, physical and emotional support to their clients before, during and after childbirth.
What do doulas do?
Doulas help families find the information they need to make informed decisions, support clients physically and emotionally during labor and birth, and assist them with breastfeeding and early bonding. Doulas help people meet their pregnancy, labor and postpartum goals.
What We Do
Our doula support services provide compassionate care and guidance throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. We are dedicated to empowering you with knowledge and support.
Join our birth doula training program to become a birth doula. Learn how to provide physical, emotional, and informational support to birthing individuals and their families.
Through our community outreach initiatives, we strive to make birth support accessible to all families, regardless of their background or financial status. Join us in creating a more inclusive birth community.
We offer free community classes to prepare parents for labor and birth, equipping them with the knowledge and confidence to navigate the birthing process.
​We host monthly continuing education events for doulas who work with us or have trained with us, designed to help them expand and grow their skills.

Our Vision
Our vision is for every birthing person to feel respected, empowered, and supported through the experiences of pregnancy, labor, birth, and the early weeks of parenting.
Our Mission
BirthWell Partners is a non-profit that makes doula training and doula services more equitable and accessible, in order to improve the health of families and communities in Alabama.
