UNM Volunteer Birth Companion Program

We are a birth justice-focused, volunteer program that aims to provide respectful, compassionate, and non-judgmental care to people who may not otherwise be able to access continuous birth support. We acknowledge the diversity of people and their reproductive choices and experiences. Through our work, we hope to improve birth experiences and lessen health disparities in maternity care.

We provide free birth companions (doulas) to families birthing at UNM Hospital in Albuquerque, NM.
