• Nourishing Networks of Care

    Supporting At-Home & In-Clinic Abortions
  • 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.

    Hybrid Delivery: This class has extensive resources and pre-recorded material to work through on a weekly basis. Weekly LIVE sessions convene for deepening, discussion, and networking. Attendance at LIVE sessions is highly recommended, but not required. LIVE sessions are recorded and posted to the classroom for review.

    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.
