The All About Kindness Loan Program provides women who have experienced violence or abuse with access to a specialized doula during their pregnancy, labour, birth and post-partum period. The doula service aims to provide much-needed support to women at a time when they are vulnerable and more likely to return to abusive partners. This program also aims to reduce the risk of post-partum PTSD, mood disorders, and triggering of previous abuse.
