Open Arms provides community-based support during pregnancy, birth, and early parenting to nurture strong foundations that last a lifetime.
Description
Open Arms Perinatal Services provides strong community-rooted, culturally relevant support for pregnant people during pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. Through doula care, childbirth education and new mother support groups, Open Arms achieves remarkable health outcomes, strengthens parent-baby bonding, and increases parental self-advocacy skills.
Open Arms serves over 600 parents each year, providing cost-free care to build foundations that last a lifetime. Open Arms' unique services include home visits beginning during pregnancy, attendance at the birth of the baby, and ongoing postpartum support. We provide referrals and early parenting education up to two years after a baby is born. In all of our services, we carefully match clients to care providers from the same community whenever possible, and we work with clients in 17 different languages. Our work is foundational for maternal-infant health and early learning efforts.
