HOMEBIRTH FOR DOULAS CASE STUDY
How to bring the best quality of care to a birth in the home.
While many of the needs will overlap, supporting a birthing person in a homebirth setting can look and feel very different than supporting them in a hospital or birthing center. This workshop will help you develop the skills you need to build that support system and will delve into homebirth culture, doula responsibilities and working alongside homebirth midwives, transfers, precipitous labor, and what should be in your doula bag and homebirth kit.
*For CHB Birth Doula students, this class counts as a continuing education class towards birth and postpartum certification.

"I took ‘Homebirth for Doulas’ from my home state of CA, and even though it was online, CHB managed to create such an inviting, inclusive and intimate environment. I felt as though I was being given these hard-earned nuggets of wisdom (practical and conceptual) that would have taken me years and years of serving families to learn! Entering and holding space in a hospital, is vastly different from doing so in someone’s living space, and I feel infinitely more prepared for the unique challenges a homebirth presents after taking this class. So glad I did it!"
