“It takes a village and we are the village”: A qualitative community-engaged study of doulas serving migrants and refugees in Georgia
Doulas provide critical support in the navigation of immigrant experiences in the United States-including and beyond pregnancy. Their work with immigrant communities enriches the lives of their clients and improves maternal and child health outcomes. However, revised policies and programming for more holistic perinatal services are needed to facilitate their expansive scope of work.
