there it is^^

Jessica, can you post the full citation of the web of causation you used in your presentation?

Thank you Jessica Roach for sharing the layers of expertise and ability of community based full spectrum doulas!!

www.roott.org

A space for folks interested in sharing resources, opportunities, information, support, etc. related to expanding access to doula care: https://www.facebook.com/groups/expandingdoulaaccess/

We are in the early stages in Florida, but what the Medicaid MCOs understand a doula is and what a doula actually is, are not the same.

Thank you for information on CA implicit bias training policy and shouting out NBEC. Your requirements are excellent. We have a list of other trainings/trainers, but few others thoughtfully hit all of those points. Co-creating does open it up to interpretation. We have a lot of resources to share. Always looking for more. Bless y’all -Carmen Green http://birthequity.org/contact/

Are we able to get a full list of today’s speakers? Thanks!
