Refresher Training
This training is intended for current trained doulas, members of our collective, and anyone who has taken our DoulaCo ExCo. This training is designed as a way of providing a brief refresher on abortion doula work and support techniques before providing support again. Ideal for anyone who is nervous about providing support, people who have taken some time off, or anyone who would like to further their knowledge in this work! If you are interested in joining our collective please visit our annual doula training page!

annual sexual harm workshop
Through this workshop, you'll learn more about sexual violence, intimate partner violence, and how these two concepts connect to abortion doula work. We'll also talk about how you can best support someone who is experiencing sexual harm outside of the context of doula-ing. Anyone is welcome to join us for this annual training, usually held in the Fall and Spring. Stay Tuned for details for Spring 2022!
annual laws talk
​
Through this workshop, you'll learn more about the current national, state, and local abortion legislature. There are many ways in which laws attempt to restrict access to abortions and the national debate has never been more contentious. We'll learn from a professional who works closely with abortion laws and can give a personal perspective on the current issues in the US government. Anyone is welcome to join us for this annual training, usually held in the Spring. Stay tuned for Dates!
