Birth support is part
of a bigger village.

Sometimes the next helpful step is a food, housing, coverage, mental-health, or family resource. These official starting points can help you find the right local contact.

Independent links, no referral promise.

Motha Doula is not affiliated with or endorsed by the agencies and services listed. A listing does not mean Tenise Foxx is enrolled with, partnered with, or able to secure services from a program. Eligibility, hours, availability, and procedures can change; confirm directly with the organization. Do not put private health or financial details into the interactive tool or a general website inquiry.

Tenise describes her role as a birth advocate, coach, strategist, sounding board, and community-resource guide. She can help you name a question and think through a next step. The programs below provide their own eligibility decisions, clinical care, benefits, and referrals.

If you want to make a short list first, the private support-map builder can turn a broad concern into a question and point you to the correct local directory. It does not save or send your answers.
