GALS is all about options, support, & respect.

Founded in 2008, Giving Austin Labor Support (GALS) is dedicated to improving birth outcomes and empowering undersupported families. We provide education and support to birthing people and health care workers from pregnancy through postpartum. We've supported over 500 families through the On Call Birth Support Program, Prenatal Doula Program, and Jail Support Progam.

GALS works to improve outcomes by reducing unneccessay interventions. The cesarean rate with a GALS present: 15.3 % of births since 2012. Nationally this number hovers much higher than health oganizations advise with cesareans occuring in around 33% of births.
Satisfaction is important becuase a less traumatic birth means a lower likelihood of postpartum mental health disorders. 100 percent of GALS birthing families say the birth was better because of the GALS volunteer.
Building community means supporting health care workers so they can focus on the health and welbeing of the patient. 100 percent of medical staff say they would recommend GALS to another patient.

Birth workers & Volunteers make our mission come to life. Coming from a grassroots organization, GALS has grown as a nonprofit to serve the greater birth community. By providing training and resources to new and experienced birth workers and advocates, GALS provides opportunities for doulas to learn and grow in community with each other and the families we serve.
