Doula Syllabus: "Prenatal Substance Use: Exploring Assumptions of Maternal Unfitness"

7/30/2018

My summer reading:

"Prenatal Substance Use: Exploring Assumptions of Maternal Unfitness", commentary co-authored by Mishka Terplan, one of our Full-Spectrum Doula Circles speakers this month.

The commentary authors write:

“Pregnant women who use substances deserve compassion and care, not pariah status and punishment.”

I read journal articles so you don’t have to! I’ll ask about this commentary during the Full-Spectrum Doula Circles webinar on Pregnancy and Drug Use: The Facts.

I'm so grateful to the more than 55 people who weighed in on designs for the new Full-Spectrum Doula Circle logo!

It helped me to eliminate designs & to ask designers to try adjusting popular designs to make them work even better.

Check out the gorgeous and distinct new logo! I think it really expresses the unique character of Full-Spectrum Doula Circle and I'm happy to be able to share it.

Doulas traditionally provide
non-medical, empowering support for birth. Full-spectrum doulas provide the same kind of support for the
full spectrum of pregnancy outcomes, including abortion.

We do this to create a culture of compassion, love, and justice in which all people have the freedom and resources they need to make free choices about their bodies and their families.

Full-Spectrum Doula Circle connects abortion/full-spectrum doulas and other reproductive support people
with information, education, and each other, to increase skills, decrease burnout, and deepen our wells of support,
with an emphasis on providing digital resources to connect doulas who are geographically dispersed.
