Postpartum Doula Support
Wisdom Within offers free postpartum doula support to women in the Arkansas Valley and surrounding communities who have been diagnosed with postpartum depression.
This support will take the form of child care and light housework to allow the woman some time to engage in physical exercise, which has been shown by research to be as effective as prescriptive medications in treating PPD.
Women with a PPD diagnosis from their doctor or midwife are eligible for these services.
Volunteers in this program are trained annually in postpartum psychology and depression by appropriate health professionals.
