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 and trauma, pregnancy/birth and disability, Inclusive lactation and infant feeding, and 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.
This course includes resources and information for Canadian and U.S. contexts, and a broad enough framework to be applicable and meaningful, even if you work outside of the U.S. and Canada.
