This is one of five lessons that make up our Prerecorded Supporting People Who Use Drugs and Those in Recovery 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.
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 masterclass offers the opportunity to learn about the intersections of trauma informed care and harm reduction. You'll learn about the principles of both frameworks, as well as their practical applications. You'll also learn about important considerations about birth trauma and obstetric violence for people who use drugs and those in recovery.
Corrected captions are included in all course session recordings. Additional prerecorded materials include automated captioning.

Ama Warnock Merrell (they/them) is a full-spectrum & loss doula, peer counselor, childbirth educator, somatic practitioner, and perinatal photographer. They live and work in Chicago. They specialize in working with queer & trans families, fat folks, disabled & neurodivergent people, and survivors of trauma & violence, all from a place of lived experience. They organize around harm reduction and non-carceral mental health crisis response. You can connect with them online at embodiedcare.org or email [email protected].
JB Brown (they/he) is a full-spectrum doula and community educator, with a passion for pelvises, humans, trauma-informed care, and restorative justice. As a trans non-binary person, he is practiced in the art (and awkwardness) of transition, and he brings this knowing and compassion to his work as a doula and educator, supporting individuals and families through their own transformations in conception, pregnancy, birth, postpartum and beyond. As a teacher and the Program Director at Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings (BADT), JB works with students and professionals to be partners and accomplices in the movement to change the current birth environment locally, nationally and globally. In addition to work in the perinatal space, JB does advocacy, education, mentorship, and consulting work around gender, both for trans, gender non-conforming, and non-binary people, as well as folks looking to include these individuals in their work. http://www.loveoverfearwellness.com
