Birth does not happen in isolation—it happens within families, friendships, and communities. The Loved Ones Program is a free, monthly training series designed to equip partners, family members, and support people with the knowledge, confidence, and tools to walk alongside pregnant and postpartum parents with care, advocacy, and love.
Hosted by TruDoulas of NJ, this program strengthens the “village” that surrounds birthing people—helping improve maternal and infant outcomes while honoring cultural traditions and community wisdom.
