Supporting Doulas in Healthy Start Programs

We proudly support the HRSA initiative to increase the number of doulas serving Healthy Start Programs across the United States. These grant-funded, in-person trainings bring doula education directly into the communities that need it most, building local capacity to support birthing families.

Meeting Your Certification Requirements

Our DONA International approved doula workshops include the Intro to Childbirth for Doulas component, which meets a secondary course requirement for birth doula certification. We also offer the Lactation for Doulas course as an option. Participants who take all three components, the birth doula workshop with Intro to Childbirth plus Breastfeeding for Doulas, will have completed the three classroom courses required for certification.
