The Colorado Doula Project is a grassroots non-profit organization that provides free logistical, financial, and emotional support for people accessing abortion in Colorado.
We are a network of Volunteer Abortion Doulas that can help you access an abortion in Colorado as safely and comfortably as possible, with support along the way.
What is an Abortion Doula?
In the most basic sense, an abortion doula can be anybody who provides non-medical support for someone going through an abortion. They are a friendly face, a hand to hold, a shoulder to cry on, a source of information, and an advocate for their client’s care in a medical setting.
Abortion Doula Training
The Colorado Doula Project operates an online, self-guided Abortion Doula Training. You do not need to volunteer with us to take this training. If you’re interested in volunteering directly with our clients, you must take our training.
Our Volunteer Abortion Doulas are trained to deliver non-judgmental, compassionate support. We’re here to help support you through this experience. Our doulas can drive you to and from your appointment, sit with you in the clinic, or talk with you about how you’re feeling.
Services We Provide
How do I get support?
Our intake team can work with you to find an abortion provider that best fits your needs. We can provide support with booking and paying for transportation, lodging, and your procedure or medication.
Our team can also help with funding for food and childcare. If you have additional needs related to your abortion, please let us know on your intake form.
Through our Abortion Support Network, the Colorado Doula Project helps hundreds of people annually to safely access abortions in Colorado.
