BLOSSOMING BIRTH COMMUNITY DOULA TRAINING
Created by SisterWeb and Oklahoma Birth Equity Initiative (OKBEI), The Blossoming Birth Community Doula Training is a full-spectrum doula training program which prepares doulas to develop skills in perinatal emotional, physical, and educational support for birthing people and families in their communities. The training curriculum exemplifies a strength-based and community-focused approach to birthwork that integrates evidence-based practice with ancestral wisdom.
This training is centered around Black and Indigenous birthing people of color and the community doulas that are supporting them nationwide. Utilizing the knowledge, wisdom, and lived experience of current doulas, lactation specialists, midwives, OB/GYNs, and additional providers, the curriculum will be holistic in its approach to birth work. The model of doula training is highly adaptable to different community needs, and uses strengths of individual communities to honor local wisdom and create a simplified and easy to use framework that communities can retain and use to train their own community members.
