When it comes to advocacy, there is more than one definition.
Ask a handful of doulas what it means to advocate for a client and
you’re like to get a handful of answers.
We believe that it is not our place to speak for our clients. This
belief can ruffle some doula feathers. While we can achieve the
same goals, we tend to define advocate and advocacy a bit
differently.
We believe that as doulas, we amplify our client's voices. Speaking
for them removes their voice. It assumes that they haven't changed
their mind. Speaking for the client can actually remove their power
and silence their voices.
Come join us as we discuss the many facets of doulas as advocates.
