who we are

The Oberlin Doula Collective (ODC) is a student, community and volunteer-run organization based in Oberlin OH (not affiliated with Oberlin College) dedicated to providing free and compassionate support to people who are terminating their pregnancies. By providing emotional, physical, and informational support to individuals having in-clinic and medical abortions, we work toward a world in which all people have access to compassionate reproductive care, regardless of their pregnancy outcomes. Driven by the values of Reproductive Justice,** health equity, and bodily autonomy, we aim to empower pregnant individuals through trauma-informed, gender-inclusive, and body-positive support work. In doing so, we strive to foster a culture that trusts people and their inherent strength to make the best reproductive decisions for themselves.
