Do you remember your own struggle, or the struggle of a loved one during pregnancy, birth, or postpartum? MAYA exists to make sure that expectant and postpartum parents don't have to struggle alone. Our free online classes bring parents together in a judgement-free zone. Parents prepare together for birth, infant care and safety, and self-care. During labor, MAYA doulas are there to help you advocate for yourself and to provide emotional support, comfort measures, and information. After your baby is born, a MAYA mentor will check in with you every week to see how you're doing, support your breastfeeding goals, and to make sure you're able to get connected with any care or treatment you might need. MAYA has no-cost in-house therapists to support your mental health. We also provide free diapers and offer car seats and pack'n'plays as class incentives.
We strive to improve outcomes and experiences for communities most affected by discrimination and disparities in health outcomes. We are a community asset based organization providing culturally congruent mentorship. Thirty-three percent of our clients are Black women. Twenty-seven percent of our clients are non-English-speaking Latina women. Many of the parents that experience our program express an interest in paying it forward and helping other parents and so we created a free Community Mentor Training program to help participants become Perinatal Mentors and Doulas and reduce barriers to entering the field of birth work.
We depend on the support of our community to ensure that we can continue to offer these free programs to Pittsburgh parents. Thank you for paying it forward and helping us ensure that no mom gets left behind!
