Expanding opportunities for doulas and lactation consultants
In many communities, families face significant challenges accessing birth and postpartum care. Pacify’s Scholarship Program is here to help change that. By supporting aspiring doulas, we aim to increase the number of certified professionals who provide vital care during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
We also offer the IBCLC Diversity in Lactation Scholarship Program to support underrepresented candidates pursuing careers in lactation consulting. Together, these initiatives are helping families connect with the care they need, from pregnancy through postpartum.
