On-Demand & Move-At-Your-Pace!
Our 13-module Postpartum Doula Training provides students with the opportunity to explore what it means to provide meaningful, supportive, comprehensive support to postpartum people through the lens of BADT values. In addition to learning practical knowledge and skills for providing care, students will also be given context and approaches for the integration of cultural humility, trauma-informed care, and inclusivity into their practice.
