@parteranegra I got one was the intention of teaching, but after becoming a doula it was the perk of annoying MDs by using Dr that made it worth it ;)

TODAY: @SenBooker and I re-introduced the MOMMIES Act to expand Medicaid coverage for birthing people & promote community-based, holistic approaches to maternity care.

Every pregnant person should be listened to and treated with dignity and respect during and after childbirth.

According to a report issued by the @cdc in 2020, 1 in 5 women report NOT being screened for maternal
depression despite universal screening being recommended. #MMHWeek2021 #MakingOverMotherhood

While parental burnout is not a psychiatric condition, it is closely associated with psychiatric conditions such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorders, all of which can contribute to or result from burnout syndrome. #MMHWeek2021 #MakingOverMotherhood

We need more doulas and greater access to doulas in CA. Support SB65. #Momnibus

[Western Center on Law & Poverty @Western_Center]

Here's the latest on #SB65, CA's #Momnibus bill: today Senate Rules sent the bill to Senate Appropriations. Appropriations has until May 21 to advance the bill to the Senate floor. https://t.co/42JGEetgAN

Thanks again for everyone's continued support for healthier births in CA!

[Western Center on Law & Poverty @Western_Center]

UPDATE: The CA Senate sent #SB65 back to Senate Rules, where they will decide how the bill will proceed: https://t.co/42JGEetgAN

Thank you @SenToniAtkins for keeping the bill alive & @NancySkinnerCA for staying the course. We are deeply thankful to everyone who supported SB 65.

[National Health Law Program @NHeLP_org]

In CA advocates are fighting to address maternal health disparities. But politics is holding it up in the senate. @SenToniAtkins please let #SB65 undergo the correct legislative process. #BlackMamasMatter #MaternalJustice
