SIGNATURE PROGRAMS & INITIATIVES
Women’s History Month is a time to celebrate and reflect on the often overlooked contributions of women in our society. The Women’s Center works daily to raise awareness on women’s stories and experiences through programming and online presence, and we hope this month offered our community the opportunity to learn more and grow awareness on not only women’s contributions, but also the issues that lie ahead. LEAVEs is a cohort model of students who unpack the intersections of feminism and gender equity on campus and in the broader community. We aim to develop student leaders through program development and assessment, as well as providing opportunities for community organizing and advocacy! Deacon Doulas are trained, volunteer birth companions who provide continuous physical and emotional support to laboring patients at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Birth Center, at no cost to the patient themselves. As a program, we focus on serving medicaid-insured, uninsured, and teen patients since these individuals are often unable to afford private doula care.
