We’re dedicated to building a future where humanity can prosper. And while the crisis is huge, we’re optimistic.

What is a Doula?

A doula provides information, physical and emotional support, and advocacy for individuals and their partners during and after the birthing process. Unlike other practitioners such as obstetricians, nurses, and midwives, those with doula training do not give medical advice or have clinical duties. However, they provide critical support and assistance during labor and birth, making the process easier for the practitioner and the soon to be parents.

Our History

Wisconsin Doulas Of Color Collective (WIDOCC) was founded in 2014 by a group of doulas, birthworkers, community workers, midwives, mothers, nurses, healers, college students, artists, and activists of color. We shared a common passion: addressing infant and maternal mortality rates and birth disparities for people of color across the state of Wisconsin. From direct doula care and community outreach, to policy advocacy and rigorous research, this passion still guides our work.
