Prerecorded Childbirth Educator Training (2022)
This 12-module prerecorded training is now available! Automated closed caption in English and ASL interpretation available for replays of live sessions.
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.
Live ASL interpretation and automated closed captions in English provided for replays of live sessions, for additional accommodation requests, email [email protected]
