🎓 It’s graduation season, and we’re shining a spotlight on our incredible BPSP (Building Perinatal Support Professionals) Doula Cohort VI!

This dedicated cohort of 20 committed themselves to learning, growing, and preparing to serve families across our communities. Throughout the program, they completed 20 core sessions, additional continuing education workshops covering maternal mental health, lactation, CPR, business development, and more, received mentorship, and were gifted a bag of items and tools to help them confidently begin supporting mothers and families. And the best part? Many of these graduates are already serving clients and making an impact in the community! 💛 We are beyond proud of each and every graduate and all they accomplished throughout this journey. Our scholarship program is completely free to our scholars and it takes a lot of resources to have a successful program that adequately equips perinatal support professionals, so we thank EACH & EVERY sponsor. A special thank you to Elevance Health @elevancehealth and HealthConnect One @healthconnctone for allowing us to be a replicated site and supporting this work, to Emory Decatur Hospital for allowing us to use their space for our in-person training days, and to Morehouse School of Medicine @msm_cmhe for allowing us to celebrate this milestone in the beautiful Calvin Smyre Auditorium. Thank you to every facilitator, mentor, sponsor, supporter, and community partner who continues to trust and believe in our work and training programs. Congratulations again to our graduates and to all graduates celebrating this season — your hard work deserves to be celebrated! 🎉 #HMHBGA #perinatalworkforce #graduation #Doulas #BPSP
