SUMMARY:Seminar: Innovative Approaches to Pregnant and Postpartum Women in 
 Jail: Doula Programs and Custody Staff Training
DESCRIPTION:Thousands of pregnant individuals pass through our nation&rsquo
 ;s jails each year. They have unique medical, psychosocial, and custody ne
 eds that jails must equipped to address, whether jails see one or one hund
 red such individuals. In this interactive seminar, we will present two inn
 ovative initiatives that can help jails strengthen their operations in bot
 h safety and programming for pregnant and postpartum women. First, we will
  highlight the benefits of having a doula program—birth support prof
 essionals who can provide services in jail and the hospital during pregnan
 cy, childbirth, and postpartum, including breastfeeding support. A sheriff
  and a doula who started such a program in jail will describe how to set u
 p a doula program, what it looks like, and the benefits for pregnant women
  and custody staff alike. The second innovation we will discuss is impleme
 nting training for custody officers. As the first point of contact, they m
 ust be able to appropriately recognize when a pregnant woman might be in l
 abor or is having another pregnancy emergency. Having basic skills to tria
 ge when a pregnant or postpartum woman is having an emergency and needs me
 dical attention is crucial to ensuring the best outcomes for moms and babi
 es, avoiding having a birth in your jail, and minimizing chances of litiga
 tion. This seminar will present simple tools you can take back to your jai
 l to be able to empower your staff to recognize pregnancy emergencies. Fin
 ally, we will discuss the under-recognized needs of postpartum women in cu
 stody and why it is important to identify them at intake.\n\n\nhttps://nsa
