Family Planning Conversations For Doulas ~ 3 CEU class

Learn how to confidently guide compassionate, evidence-based family planning conversations while honoring every client's values, choices, and your and your role as a doula. Free with RSVP Code

Family planning is a deeply personal topic, and clients often have questions long before they speak with their healthcare provider—or after they leave an appointment wanting more clarity. As a doula, you're in a unique position to provide a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their priorities, ask questions, and prepare for informed conversations with their healthcare team.

This evidence-based training will give you the knowledge, communication skills, and confidence to facilitate meaningful conversations about birth spacing, postpartum contraception, and future family planning. You'll learn how to support informed decision-making, honor each client's values and reproductive goals, and stay confidently within your doula scope of practice.

Why are we doing this training?

Providers often don’t have much time to address these topics

Clients’ needs and desires change over time, conversation needs to be ongoing
