Reminder: In order to take the Keeping Your Power: Advocacy Training for Families, you must have completed the Keeping Your Power: Advocacy Training for Doulas companion class!

Keeping Your Power for families helps parents find their voice in self-advocacy. Working alongside their doula and childbirth educator, they discover themselves, the system where they are giving birth, and practice advocating for themselves in prenatal appointments and in labor. Families practice critical thinking to make confident decisions in their care reducing the risk of trauma including learning red flags to watch for and communication skills to use with their care provider. This course also encourages families to take accountability for their beliefs and advocating for themselves first making our job as an Advocate Doula easier.
