two-day intensive spring training
abortion values
One of the first aspects of our two-day abortion doula training is an abortion values activity. We discuss common misconceptions about abortion and work to de-stigmatize abortion.
reproductive justice
Abortion doula work & the Oberlin Doula Collective are both rooted in the Reproductive Justice framework. We teach our trainees about Reproductive Justice and engage in thoughtful discussions about the movement.
what is a doula?
An abortion doula is a non-medical reproductive support companion who provides emotional, physical, and mental support for those who are having an abortion. During the training, we spend time learning about the history behind and importance of doula work.
supporting a self-managed abortion
Our trainees go through a step-by-step process detailing how to support a patient during a self-managed abortion.
abortion laws
The Oberlin Doula Collective takes time to ensure that our trainees are up to date on abortion laws on the local, state, and federal levels.
supporting a surgical abortion
Our trainees go through a step-by-step process detailing how to support a patient during a surgical abortion procedure. We also provide information on how to collaborate with clinic staff.
