Abortion Policy and Background for Doulas

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 six lessons (four core classes, and two masterclasses) that make up our Prerecorded Abortion Doula CE Complete Course 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.

This core class offers the opportunity to learn about the context for abortion and doula work, legislation about abortion and access, restriction and criminalization of abortion. While the policy integrated into this week's content is US-specific, there are elements of this week's material that can be translated to other countries.

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