Join our celebratory Saturday workshop of guest speakers, giveaways, and conversations. This event is for doulas to feel supported, encouraged, seen, and loved, and is a great way to network, share wisdom, and pass it on to the community we serve.
The purpose of World Doula Week (WDW) is to empower doulas all over the world to improve the physiological, social, emotional, and psychological health of women, newborns, and families during birth and in the postpartum period. The annual event is held from March 22nd until the 28th.
The WDW initiative started in Israel as the first Doula Day, which took place on March 22, 2011. Ruti Karni Horowitz, the entrepreneur of the project, suggested that CAPPA join and they did with great enthusiasm. It has since been agreed that this collaboration should not be exclusive to just one doula organization, but instead, include ALL doulas and doula organizations around the world.
