OUR SERVICES
Core Foundations of Family Doula Training & Support Services
Holistic Support:

Cultural Integration:
Family Community Resources Inc integrates Omugwo traditions to provide culturally sensitive, comprehensive care. We support mothers emotionally and physically, ensuring a smooth transition into parenthood. Our approach blends tradition with modern practices to create an empowering environment for families.

Supporting Vulnerable Families
Empowering Marginalized Communities with Doula Support

By offering tailored advocacy and assistance, our services address the distinct challenges these communities face, ensuring that they receive the care and resources they need for a healthy and supported experience throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

Empowering Vulnerable Families with Culturally Sensitive Support
