Hi there! I'm a doula and I am developing a network of volunteer doulas for pregnant teens. It will be a searchable database where you can list your contact information. We also have a forum community there where teens go to ask questions to doulas and to talk to other teens and share with their pregnancy/birth experiences and talk about their babies. If you're interested in joining the volunteer network, please email me at crysta@rogers.com

The website is www.doulasforteens.com

Thanks!

Hi Tiffany. I am about to take the doula cert. course and am very interested in working with teens once I am finished. What part of the country are you working from? I am in Kelowna and would love to know more about what it is you are doing. Please give me more info if you get a chance. Thanks Linda

I am a trained Doula in Northern BC. I had a pregnant teen reffered to me last spring by our public health unit. It was a very rewarding experience for myself as a Doula as well as my client and her boyfriend. I did volunteer my services to the young couple and I would certainly do it again.

I tried to register on your website, but couldn't. I have taken my doula training and am looking to volunteer with teens. Please let me know when I can register at your website. Thanks!
