Community-Supported Doula Care Program

Through Full Embrace, we offer Community-Supported Doula Care to ensure that financial hardship is never a barrier to receiving compassionate birth support. No one should birth alone. If you need support, please reach out—we are here for you.

  • Community-Supported Care is a volunteer-based program that connects eligible families with trained doulas at no cost. While we strive to provide support to all who qualify, services depend on doula availability and are not guaranteed.

    We believe that from the first contraction to the fourth trimester, every parent—and their family—deserves compassionate care and community support, regardless of economic circumstances. Through this program, trained doulas from our Full Embrace Doula Program offer personalized, culturally attuned, and comprehensive care.

    Doulas are available in Anchorage, Nome, Seward, Mat-Su, and Fairbanks, based on volunteer availability.

  • This program is designed for pregnant and postpartum individuals who may be:

    ✅ Experiencing housing instability

    ✅ Facing high-risk medical conditions or mental health challenges

If paying for doula care would create a significant burden and impact your ability to meet essential needs, we want you to know that you are still deeply valued. You deserve support, celebration, and a community that honors you.
