The Rooted Doula Collective, a collaborative community of Black doulas, offers full-spectrum doula support to Black folks. They will work in partnership with Arizona Birthworkers of Color to uplift, support, and create space for connection amongst Birthworkers of Color in Arizona, aiming to replicate the Public Health Institute at Denver Health’s Perinatal Continuum of Care Toolkit for Action. By adapting this toolkit to their state, the Rooted Doula Collective and Arizona Birthworkers of Color hope to incorporate the lived experience and expertise of Black families and those who care for them to increase the knowledge and capacity of those who are a part of the formal and informal care networks that support birthing and postpartum people during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
