CVD Postpartum Doula Services Referral/Request Form
CVD is a birth justice organization providing comprehensive doula support with a focus on vulnerable communities in the Chicago-land area. Doulas provide educational, physical and emotional support before, during and immediately after labor and childbirth. A doula does not provide any type of medical care.

Thank you for completing this form to obtain a postpartum doula. This service is designed to give around 20 hours of postpartum support (maybe more if agreed upon by family and doula) within 12 weeks postpartum. We do ask for a donation of $100. If you have any questions about the program please email programcoordinator@chicagovolunteerdoulas.org.
