Doula Training for BIPOC Community Members

Doula Training for BIPOC Community Members

This training is a collaborative offering between the Center for Indigenous Midwifery and Open Arms Perinatal Services, with funding support from AmeriGroup.
Registration is open to interested BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) individuals, with no cost to participate.  All sessions will be led by BIPOC Birthkeepers.
Center for Indigenous Midwifery is an Indigenous-centered organization with a commitment to growing more culturally matched Birthkeepers.  CFIM’s vision is “Healing generations with Indigenous midwifery wisdom and culturally-centered family support”.
Open Arms is a Non-Profit that provides community-based support during pregnancy, birth, and early parenting to nurture strong foundations to last a lifetime. Through doula care, childbirth education, lactation counseling, and new parent support, they help birthing families achieve important milestones, strengthen parent-baby bonding, and boost long-term parenting skills.
