Webinar: Supporting Young Parents, an event with Lorena Murialdo of Planned Parenthood Toronto

This 60 minute webinar will host Lorena Murialdo, from Planned Parenthood Toronto, who will lead a discussion about supporting young parents in today’s birth and parenting climate.

What will this webinar cover?

We took it to our DTC crowd to ask them what they would like to learn most about!
When we asked our members about what they would like to see covered, some of the answers included:

-What support young parents need in the early postpartum period
-What it feels like to become a parent when you (may or may not) still be being “parented”
-Resources best suited to youth in terms of things like continuing education, housing, age appropriate support, and community services,
-Mental health for young parents and how unplanned parenthood impacts labour, birth, and postpartum times

-Fostering healthy relationships with doulas and others in the absence of parental support

Lorena will address many of these and speak to what she feels is pertinent to her work and important for modern birth workers to be aware of.

This 60 minutes is sure to be packed full of thought-provoking suggestions and points for growing competencies when supporting young parents!

When:  Tuesday October 18th @ 1pm EST via Zoom
*recorded for playback (registrants only)/ closed-captioning available at all DTC events*

Cost:  $20 per participant

Reproductive Herbalism I ONLINE I October 3rd START DATE

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1624844275611{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Doula Canada offers you a comprehensive introduction to reproductive herbalism – menstruation to menopause!

This course will help you grow in your general awareness of safe use of herbalism and allow you to expand your knowledge.  Note: this is not a certification but an introductory training.  All herbal discussions look at the materia medica of herbs and have foundations in research or traditional herbal usage.  At this time herbalism is not a regulated profession in Canada but we encourage all persons taking this course to consider certifying as a medical herbalist at some point in time.

The knowledge from this training will position you to offer guidance through discussion with your clients. It does not position you to suggest herbal remedies as an alternative to standard medicine, prescribe oral herbal therapies, or makes recommendations to address medical concerns.

The goal of this course is first and foremost to help you understand how herbs have been historically used for reproductive health, the various ways of preparing herbs, and the concerns that can be safely discussed in conjunction with herbal use and referrals to community practitioners.

Much of the knowledge gained in this course can also apply to your personal experiences as the foundation of this course applies to healthy reproductive options for persons and their various reproductive stages.

Included in this course are handouts and materials you can share with your personal clients.
