Collaborative Practice

*Anticipation*Awareness*Art of Professionalism*

Why does collaborative practice matter?

     In order to preserve the doula profession (the ability to freely attend any birth at any hospital) respect must be given and returned. This training focuses on widening perspectives, understanding the different roles of the birth team, and troubleshooting

communication from birth team member to birth team member. Rather than teaching about birth, the family, and the doula, this class examines how to give and garner respect in the community. Our primary goal is to create and maintain a culture of professionalism amongst all those who care for families.

Who should take this training?

     Doulas, doulas in training, care providers, midwives, childbirth educators, and anyone involved in the care of birthing families.
