Become a Childbirth Educator!

The BADT 12-week online Childbirth Educator Training gives doulas and educators the knowledge and tools necessary to provide inclusive, trauma-informed, comprehensive, and evidence-based education to birthing people in their communities. In addition to the typical topics found in childbirth education, we will also be covering the following topics: 

  • Paths to conception

  • Consent, trauma, and boundaries

  • Mental health in the postpartum period

  • Disability and pregnancy/birth

  • Inclusive infant feeding and lactation

  • Grief and loss

We want our educators to not only have a basic knowledge of pregnancy, labor, and birth but an in-depth and inclusive understanding of all aspects and realities of birth and birthing people.
