🤱 Case Study: Recognizing that doulas and community birth workers play a pivotal role in supporting so many pregnant people through the birthing process, the Metro Mommy Agency, Inc. is piloting a new training program that integrates climate and environmental considerations for doulas. Located in South Florida, where extreme heat and hurricane season already play a role in shaping the decisions that pregnant people and families are making, the program provides learnings for doulas on how environmental factors can shape the health of pregnant people, risk factors to consider, and tools for assessing needs with clients. Learn more about the range of climate impacts across the U.S. — wildfires, extreme heat, hurricanes, and beyond — their specific reproductive health impacts, and examples of activists and organizations spearheading work at this intersection in our latest brief. 📄 Gender, Climate, and Reproductive Health in the United States: wedo.org/us-repro-health (fb)
