Support for Mothers and Children: New Perinatal Care Career Pathways

This act aims to create new education and training opportunities for individuals interested in working in pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care. This will enable more people to become doulas or midwives, potentially increasing the availability and quality of perinatal services, especially for low-income individuals.
Key points
Training Programs: Grants will be available for educational and training projects for aspiring doulas and midwives.
Support for Low-Income Individuals: Programs are designed to help low-income individuals gain qualifications and stable employment in perinatal care.
Increased Access to Care: More qualified professionals could improve access to perinatal services in states that recognize and fund doula and midwife services.
Funding: $10 million has been allocated for the program for fiscal year 2024.
