What Is the CDA?

The mission of the Colorado Doulas Association is to organize and support doulas in the state of Colorado for the purpose of promoting public education relating to pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period, to work actively to improve maternal/child birth outcomes and to empower women and families as active participants in maternity and postpartum care.

Some of the many goals of the CDA include:

• Providing a professional forum for doulas in the state of Colorado to network, share ideas, and support one another.
• Developing informational, marketing, and advertising materials to broaden public awareness of antepartum doulas, birth doulas, and postpartum doulas.
• Organizing monthly meetings that rotate geographically in the state of Colorado.
• Encouraging the formation of Chapters to localize the efforts of the CDA in communities around the state.
• The CDA holds meetings in the Denver area for doulas and other birth professionals.
