Nourishing Networks of Care: Supporting at home and in clinic abortions

11/19, 11/26, 12/3, & 12/10 from 11am-1pm PST // 2pm-4pm EST
Join us for our fall iteration of the Nourishing Networks of Care abortion support training. Teachers will be sharing knowledge, skills, and lessons we’ve learned over the years, along with a library of community resources built to support your abortion doula practice. Together we will expand our networks of care rooting into a holistic framework that honors both the person receiving and the person giving care. Join us for a comprehensive online training for abortion supporters, accompaniment, & doulas.

Interactive Online Classroom that combines pre-recorded materials to watch before each live class and weekly live 2 hour classes to ask questions, discuss recordings, connect with others in the cohort, and explore materials more comprehensively. All participants recieve a digital copy of an accompanying workbook plus a copy of the Roadmap to Care. Physical copies of the workbooks are available as an add-on.

Facilitated by: Dora Martinez, Cera Ariel, and Daena Horner
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- The course format is a combination of pre-recorded materials, live zoom classes, and workbooks. Each week participants are expected to watch and engage with the online classroom BEFORE our live class.
- The expectation is a shared commitment to attend and engage with content, teachers, and one another.
- Digital materials will be made available to all registrants including a workbook to take notes on through the course and an abortion mapping workbook called 'Roadmap to Care'. You are welcome to print these yourself or keep them digital. Print bundles are available as an ADDITIONAL OPTION on this registration. If you add the printed bundle add-on, we will print, bind, and ship the materials to you before class begins.
