Shared Knowledge. Collective Impact.

CIDCN is currently building a statewide online resource center that will serve as a centralized hub for doulas, birth workers, families, and partners across Illinois. Rooted in equity, collaboration, and community-led care, this platform will provide access to trusted tools, training, and educational resources designed to strengthen birth work and expand access to culturally grounded support. Coming soon, the resource center will include:

• Training materials and CEU-aligned educational content

• Advocacy tools and policy resources

• Trauma-informed and culturally responsive best practices

• Community referrals and support resources

• Professional development opportunities for doulas and birth workers

• Shared tools, research, and statewide collaboration resources

• Information for families seeking birth and postpartum support
