Please share widely with your colleagues and contacts in the Interior region! All Interior First Nations community members are welcome to join.
A postpartum doula is trained to provide support and education to the mother and her family during the first three months of their baby’s life, and acts as both mentor and guide as she/he helps a family care for their new baby.
It is important to note that this training is not birth doula training and does not focus on providing support during pregnancy and labour/delivery. Applicants must be available to attend all four days of the postpartum doula training.
Who can participate?
First Nations and Aboriginal women and men who live in the Interior region and who intend on practicing as a postpartum doula after completing this training (supporting parents and infants during the first three months after an infant’s birth in particular).
