Maternal & Infant Health Program

B.O.N.D.

Babies Open New Doors

A comprehensive perinatal support program centering BIPOC families — from pregnancy through the first year of life.

Why BOND Exists

Every baby deserves to thrive.

The BOND program was born from a simple truth: Black and Brown mothers and infants face systemic barriers that no family should have to navigate alone. We walk alongside families from pregnancy through the first year of life — providing doula support, childbirth education, breastfeeding counseling, and community connection rooted in cultural humility and reproductive justice.

What BOND Provides

Whole-family support, every step of the way.

Perinatal Doula Services

Continuous emotional, physical, and informational support from a trained Wholistic doula throughout pregnancy, labor, birth, and the postpartum period.

Childbirth Education

Evidence-based, culturally affirming classes that prepare families for labor, birth, and newborn care — taught by educators who look like you.

Breastfeeding Counseling

One-on-one lactation support from certified breastfeeding counselors who understand the unique challenges and cultural context of melanated families.

Postpartum Support

Home visits, mental health check-ins, and community connection during the critical fourth trimester — because the journey doesn't end at birth.

Reproductive Justice Advocacy

We advocate alongside families to navigate healthcare systems, understand rights, and access the respectful, affirming care every person deserves.

Community Referrals

Warm referrals to trusted community partners for housing, nutrition, mental health, and social services — because health is holistic.
