Hi Community! I think our update is relatively the same as the very first update, with one change. Instead of our training weekend being the weekend of June 21, it is now going to be June 28, just a weekend later. Up to this point, we have trained 33 doulas, AND several of them are making a profession out of it. Some are even going into midwifery! My hope with this training you have funded (the weekend of June 28) is that we will inspire them to do the same. The more doulas we have out there, the better outcomes our community will have.
One other change is that our trainers are using Asana to track our tasks for the training weekend. It keeps us organized. Canvas is also being used and is an education program we added as a bonus to the training they will already receive training weekend. Instead of 3 long days of training, we are teaching the doulas online in 4, 2-hour segments and then one Saturday of intense doula skills training. We will also have one evening for awards/certificates and socialization.
