048: Supporting Military Families During Pregnancy and Postpartum
Manage episode 441999813 series 3499129
In this episode, we welcome Amanda Dodson, a seasoned doula, CAPPA doula trainer and co-founder of the Military Birth Resource Network. Amanda is a military spouse herself and has birthed in the military system. San Diego is a military home to several bases and we need to discuss the unique challenges faced by military families and how we can serve them better.
We also need military families to get resources EARLY if not BEFORE they are pregnant, so they have more options for support. This is a great episode to share with any of your military friends NOW – before they are pregnant and in a new city somewhere in the world!
Amanda shares her journey from doula training to establishing birth resource networks in Japan and the U.S. Our conversation offers vital community resources and support systems for military families, emphasizing the importance of education, mental health support, and the role of doulas.
Amanda gives us options for various programs, online communities, and the ongoing work of the Military Birth Resource Network to provide comprehensive care and advocacy for military families. They also have a podcast – Military Birth Talk Podcast!! https://www.mbrnpc.org/militarybirthtalk
