Abstract:
Foundations of Doula Care introduces the knowledge, perspectives, and practices that shape compassionate, inclusive, and person-centred doula care. Grounded in evidence-informed practice, the book explores the historical, social, cultural, and ethical contexts of reproductive care while examining advocacy, reproductive justice, communication, and the doula’s role in supporting individuals and families. Through an emphasis on reflection, cultural humility, and respectful care, this resource prepares learners to provide meaningful support across diverse experiences and communities.
