The Northland Birth Network's next Parent Topic Night is September 2 at 7pm and the topic is a favorite:  Birth Stories.  New parents will share their experiences of welcoming their babies in a variety of ways.  A great chance to meet our Doulas and other birthing families.  We hope to see you there.  Also, mark your calendars for Parent Topic Nights the first Thursday of every month.

Birthing Ways-Doula Connection is celebrating the arrival of new members for our Board of Directors! We’re an active non-profit, ready to take the next step toward fulfilling our mission of providing doula services to women and families throughout our region. In the few short years we’ve been operating, we’ve served more than 200 families, trained nearly 40 doulas, and offered a number of classes and in-services on the topic of birth and the birthing year. This year, we received a grant from the Lake Superior Initiative to help us with capacity development and leadership. With this support and guidance, we’re ready to expand our governance board and bring in some committed, energetic, and community-focused individuals to help this organization thrive.
