“During the tax year, Latched Support expanded doula training opportunities to increase the availability of culturally competent perinatal support providers. We piloted a 56-hour Community-Based Doula Training program that addresses maternal mental health, trauma-informed care, and breastfeeding challenges. We also expanded postpartum mental health screening, integrating the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) into home visits and connecting families to telehealth counseling services.”

“Program evaluations showed significant increases in parental engagement in developmental activities, improved play techniques, and higher levels of perceived social support. Parents reported feeling welcomed and empowered to continue activities at home. The Fatherhood Initiative expanded outreach to young and first-time fathers, offering mentorship and family connection activities.”

“The program addresses immediate financial stressors for families, reducing the difficult choice between paying for rent/utilities and purchasing basic care items. In 2024, 50% of clients reported that without Latched Support, they would have had to choose between basic living expenses and caring for their childrens needs. We also implemented targeted outreach to teenage expectant mothers and families facing language barriers, ensuring equitable access to resources.”
