Provides birth, postpartum, and bereavement doula services as well as childbirth education classes, group parenting classes and support.

Bereavement Doulas provide support for birth in any trimester and support in any outcome. These ladies have both experienced loss personally, and are now certified and available to listen, validate, offer support, and point you to resources to help you navigate your loss. This applies whether you are pregnant and facing a life-limiting diagnosis, currently happening miscarriage, stillbirth, or if your loss was anytime in the past. They strive to be available to meet parents in the ER or hospital if needed in the middle of miscarriage, stillbirth, labor with an expected loss, etc. This is at no cost. Contact the Birth Circle to be connected with someone who has experienced loss or attend our monthly support group. The support group is held on the first Thursday of every month from 6:30-8:00 at Central Avenue Church, 73 Central Avenue, Athens. Childcare is available. [email protected].
