Session 2 ONLINE - Birthworker Inclusivity Training Series
Create a practice that is welcoming to people of all genders and orientations.

The United States saw a decade where LGBT rights were dramatically expanded, and public opinion swung to openly support those rights. However, since the last presidential election, the political tide is turning the other way, and LGBT people are once again growing more hesitant to reveal much about their orientations and identities in healthcare settings. Historically, queer folks  would often delay or reject appropriate medical treatment in an effort to avoid discrimination. And unfortunately, many mainstream health care providers have never become comfortable working with non-heterosexual folks.

Our second session will provide a thorough look at what it means to navigate our health care system as a queer or gender variant person, focusing specifically on the childbearing cycle. We'll discuss the full spectrum of queer and trans* folks, and how build respect for people of all genders and orientations into your practice. There will be a robust discussion of terminology, looking at common words and phrases to describe both LGBT people and their anatomy. And finally, we'll leave plenty of time for your questions and concerns.

B.I.T.S. program overview:

Birthworkers are in a singular position to provide respectful, inclusive care to diverse families. When a new family is celebrated for its uniqueness, rather than encouraged to fit in or hide, they are able to thrive together with dignity. Facilitating families that are free from shame should be high on our list of objectives as birthworkers.

This six part training will provide insight and context for working with families where one or both parents are sexual minorities. For a variety of reasons, these people are unable to be transparent with other healthcare providers. Because we know that the best care, and especially the best outcomes, are achieved through frank, honest communication, it is vital that we strive to include as many members of our community as possible. Empowering, uplifting births are possible for all people, regardless of gender, orientation, relationship status, vocation, or previous life experiences.

You can register to take this training in person and online. In person and online sessions will be held simultaneously. If you have missed some of the sessions, but still want to register for the whole series, you will be given access to the recordings of the earlier sessions.

Regular tickets are $30 per session, or $150 if you register for the entire series (a savings of $30).
Student tickets are $15 per session, or $75 if you register for the entire series (a savings of $15).

A total of 18 DONA continuing education contact hours have been applied for - 3 per session.
