In the U.S., the number of board-certified lactation consultants of color does not reflect the diversity of the perinatal population. Through our IBCLC Diversity in Lactation Consulting Scholarship Program, we aim to make it easier for candidates who have been historically underrepresented in the field to join the profession.

We are equally committed to expanding access to doula care. Our Doula Scholarship Program focuses on increasing the availability of certified birth and postpartum doulas in communities where access might be limited.\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”9″ ][cs_content_seo]How it works
Pacify partners with health plans and public health organizations to build scholarship programs:
IBCLC Diversity in Lactation Consulting Scholarship Program

Reach aspiring IBCLCs of color within the communities they serve
Award scholarships to select applicants
Support applicants on their journey to become infant feeding experts.

Pacify Doula Scholarship Program

Provide opportunities for aspiring doulas and/or practicing doulas seeking certification
Award scholarships to candidates committed to serving their communities

\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”10″ ][cs_content_seo]Continued support
Pacify Lactation Mentorship Program
Financial support is an important step, but we recognize that becoming an IBCLC requires comprehensive support. That’s why we’ve created a six-month mentorship program where current Pacify Lactation Consultants guide scholarship recipients through their journey. With support from Pacify’s Clinical Department, mentors provide guidance on:

Navigating IBCLC pathways
Choosing education programs
Reviewing clinical cases
Exam preparation
Professional development and interviewing skills

Pacify Doula Mentorship Program
This new program will aim to connect doula scholarship recipients with experienced doulas who provide six months of:

Guidance through certification requirements
Support on client interaction and communication
Navigating relationships with medical Staff
Self-care and preventing burnout for doulas
Cultural sensitivity and respect in birth work
Building confidence in your role as a new doula

Pacify is committed to not only removing financial barriers, but also to contributing to the success of perinatal providers. By supporting lactation consultants and doulas, we’re working to ensure more families have access to the care they need.\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_line _id=”11″ ][/cs_element_column][/cs_element_row][cs_element_layout_row _id=”12″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”13″ ][cs_element_image _id=”14″ ][cs_element_text _id=”15″ ][cs_content_seo]Maryland Doula Scholarship\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”16″ ][cs_content_seo]Interested in becoming a doula in Maryland?\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_button _id=”17″ ][cs_content_seo]LEARN MORE\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column][cs_element_layout_column _id=”18″ ][cs_element_image _id=”19″ ][cs_element_text _id=”20″ ][cs_content_seo]Ohio Diversity in Lactation Consulting Scholarship\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”21″ ][cs_content_seo]Interested in becoming a lactation consultant in Ohio?\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_button _id=”22″ ][cs_content_seo]LEARN MORE\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id=”23″ ][cs_element_layout_row _id=”24″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”25″ ][cs_element_text _id=”26″ ][cs_content_seo]Meet Our Recipients\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][cs_element_layout_row _id=”27″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”28″ ][cs_element_layout_row_2 _id=”29″ ][cs_element_layout_column_2 _id=”30″ ][cs_element_layout_div _id=”31″ ][cs_element_layout_div_2 _id=”32″ ][cs_element_text _id=”33″ ][cs_content_seo]{{dc:post:publish_date}}\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_div_2][cs_element_headline _id=”34″ ][cs_content_seo]{{dc:post:title}}\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_layout_div_2 _id=”35″ ][cs_element_image _id=”36″ ][/cs_element_layout_div_2][/cs_element_layout_div][/cs_element_layout_column_2][cs_element_layout_column_2 _id=”37″ ][cs_element_layout_div _id=”38″ ][cs_element_button _id=”39″ ][cs_content_seo]See All\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_div][cs_element_layout_div _id=”40″ ][cs_element_headline _id=”41″ ][cs_content_seo]{{dc:post:title}}\n\n{{dc:post:publish_date}}\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_layout_div_2 _id=”42″ ][cs_element_image _id=”43″ ][cs_element_icon _id=”44″ ][/cs_element_layout_div_2][/cs_element_layout_div][/cs_element_layout_column_2][/cs_element_layout_row_2][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id=”45″ ][cs_element_layout_row _id=”46″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”47″ ][cs_element_text _id=”48″ ][cs_content_seo]Off to a great start, but a long way to go
