Dads to doulas workshop empowers fathers

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, in partnership with Dear Fathers, is hosting the Dads to Doulas Marion County Workshop at the Fathers and Family Center in Indianapolis. The event aims to empower fathers with knowledge and skills to support their partners during pregnancy and childbirth.

The workshop, taking place on Saturday, Aug. 23, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., focuses on equipping Black fathers with “doula-level” knowledge through engaging, hands-on sessions. Participants will learn about the vital role fathers play in positive health outcomes for mothers and babies, the physiological process of pregnancy and childbirth, best practices in the birthing room, and how to advocate effectively for their partners and newborns.

Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, alongside representatives from Dads to Doulas, will be joined by several community partners and organizations to facilitate the workshop. The event is designed to provide fathers with the tools, confidence, and real-world insights needed to be present, supportive advocates throughout pregnancy, delivery, and the early stages of parenthood.

The Fathers and Family Center, located at 2835 North Illinois Street, Indianapolis, IN 46208, serves as the venue for this important community initiative.
