Who is Mighty Community Advocacy?
We are a Fresno local non-profit grassroots organization that centers healing, safety, and education in our community youth. Mighty Community Advocacy was founded for our pregnant youth in Central Valley who are in need of advocacy in our county's current oppressive systems such as hospitals, courts, and educational institutions. We believe that all of our youth deserve body autonomy, trauma-informed care, agency over their own cases, and a thoughtful supportive reentry to community. With our acceptance into California's Medi-Cal Provider Program we are now able to offer modified services (with virtual sessions) thru out the state of California.
Our 2023 focus is on pregnant youth and young parents healing thru our Pregnant Youth Program and our Healing Events.
"If you have a womb, you deserve Support and informed evidence based care however you decide to use it."
~Nishea Balajadia
Executive Director of Mighty Community Advocacy
What's a doula?
A Doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to their client before, during and shortly after childbirth to help them achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible.
At Mighty, we also believe that if you are choosing abortion you deserve the same care as those who choose birth. We offer abortion doula services for the same community members we offer birth services.
**Doula services are free to our pregnant community member and billed thru the California Medi-Cal System.
