As a result, SC4S supported 110 births during the fiscal year, compared to an average of 70 births annually in prior years. This represents an increase of 40 births, or approximately 57 percent year-over-year growth. This growth reflects increased community responsiveness and the development of a more diverse, intergenerational doula workforce serving familes across the region. In March 2025, we launched a key initiative in effort to refine our community-based approach to service and care, as well as build the training capacity by partnering with HealthConnect One (HCO), a nationally recognized leader in community-based doula education. We recruited and enrolled sixteen multidisciplinary participants from across the region into the HCO Training of Trainers (TOT) program. Successfully developing these new trainers represents a critical investment in long-term workforce sustainability. Through HCOs pop-education training methodology, trainers were equipped to deliver a community-based approach to childbirth education in an engaging, participatory format that emphasizes shared learning, lived experience and practical application. This newly adopted approach expands and reinforces our local/regional training network by strengthening our ability to train professionals while maintaining the integrity and accessibility of community-based doula practice. In FY25, SC4S advanced a partnership with Community Health Network (CHN) to support a collective impact approach to maternal health that strengthens alignment between community- based doulas and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). Following Hurricane Helene, partners leveraged a post-disaster funding opportunity to launch a special rural health project, Strong Mothers, Stronger Communities. The 2-year project focuses on increasing doula capacity in rural, maternal health deserts and disaster-impacted areas in the region. Key outcomes include training and capacity building for doulas to provide rural-informed care in five counties with distinct geographic and healthcare landscapes (Mitchell, McDowell, Madison, Yancey, and Avery). 500069 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 12 0 8 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 10 10 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false NC X X Caroline Rodier 8285750488 50 S French Broad Ave Suite 212 Asheville NC 28801 Sheneika Smith Executive Director 40.00 X 79754 0 0 Jasmine Moore Chair 6.00 X X 0 0 0 Cherie Jackson Vice-Chair 4.00 X X 0 0 0 Caroline Rodier Treasurer 4.00 X X 0 0 0 Hannaneh Mirozafarri Secretary 4.00 X X 0 0 0 Tammy Wood Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Ashley Jackson Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Selah Scott Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Tony Shivers Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Wakeena Sweat Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Brandy Tiernan Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 79754 0 0 false false false 369160 16572 369160 0 0 0 0 0 369160 0 0 0 25349 25349 78313 65434 10355 2524 218200 174560 32730 10910 56090 44872 8414 2804 21276 17021 3191 1064 11327 0 11327 0 109743 106690 3053 0 11071 10054 1017 0 9639 8490 881 268 14282 6773 7509 0 8560 7704 856 0 803 803 0 0 5120 0 5120 0 Doula Training and Expenses 3280 3280 0 0 Program Supplies 18471 18471 0 0 Meals 5526 2487 3039 0 Event Expense 8562 7919 643 0 1552 162 1390 0 607164 500069 89525 17570 433576 219593 25000 1004 1004 459580 220597 2743 1764 2743 1764 X 395902 37228 60935 181605 456837 218833 459580 220597 -238004 X true X false true false X 0 506442 896413 276311 369160 2048326 0 0 506442 896413 276311 369160 2048326 811596 1236730 0 0 70 70 2048396 179459 X 0 0 0 0 Pt II Ln 10 Other Income Part II, Line 10 Description: Reimbursements 2023: 70.
