Models of Abortion Doula Practice

There are no prerequisites to enroll in this course. You do not need to be a doula or have any specific background experience. This course does not result in certification. 

This is one of four lessons that make up our Prerecorded Abortion Doula CE Complete Course (Canadian Context) Bundle. We offer our CE courses with the option of purchasing select lessons, or the entire course, as a way to increase the accessibility of this information.

There are two additional masterclasses that may be of interest to you, that are not included in the Canadian Complete Course Bundle. These were originally recorded for the US Context Abortion Doula Course, but information is largely transferrable between cultural contexts. These guest masterclasses on Clinical Abortion Procedures, and Herbal Abortion 101 can be purchased individually if they interest you.

This core class offers the opportunity to learn about ways to practice abortion support, including doula collectives, private practice, and community practice. 

Corrective captioning provided with replays of live sessions. Additional prerecorded materials include automated captioning.
