Rooted: A Community Event for Marion-Polk Doulas
Compass Perinatal Family & Community Support is pleased to introduce Rooted, a series of community events for local THW doulas and those interested in becoming THWs in the Marion and Polk County Region. We are grateful to the Willamette Health Council for sponsoring this event and future gatherings for our growing doula community.
What is Rooted?
…a nurturing space for Doulas to tend to our own well-being.
…a growing community for THW Doulas (or current doulas interested in becoming a THW) primarily serving the Marion-Polk region.
…a chance to reconnect with our local roots, share resources, and make new connections.
…ongoing community learning, featuring local community-based organizations and perinatal practitioners.
…an invitation to be held where you are: rooted in the community.

We are very proud to partner with Anahuac Farm, Capaces, and Centro de Servicios para Campesinos for this special gathering - thank you!
