In Her Presence Featured in State Report

The In Her Presence Cultural Doula Program was highlighted in a state report: the 2024 Biennial Report on Women's Labor and Economic Security (page 12).

"In Her Presence established Maine’s first formal cultural doula program. The program offers doula trainings for immigrant women who can help patients communicate with medical providers across language and cultural barriers while also providing emotional, physical, and social support. Programs like this – if supported and sustained – can help build a diverse health workforce, a more effective health system, and improved perinatal health outcomes for Maine residents."
