Winthrop-LIDA Birth Doula Project November Training
The
Winthrop-LIDA Birth Doula Project is a coalition of women’s health
practitioners at Winthrop University Hospital and Long Island Doula
Association, Inc. (LIDA)-trained birth doulas seeking to improve birthing
outcomes for mothers in our community. We are hoping to recruit and train
individuals interested in offering continuous, evidence-based birth support to
women in labor and their partners. Specifically,
we are seeking individuals who have not graduated from a nursing program. The
Winthrop-LIDA Project is a unique clinical opportunity for any student
interested in:
●
Gaining hands-on,
meaningful, clinical exposure
●
Empowering women
to become agents of their bodies and health
●
Promoting mother
and baby-friendly childbirth initiatives
●
Exploring birth
doula work, midwifery, or obstetrics as possible professional trajectories
Birth
doulas provide emotional, physical and informational support to women in labor.
The benefits of birthing with birth doulas are numerous, including:
●
Personalization
and respect of individual birthing choices
●
Promotion of
breastfeeding and maternal-infant bonding
●
Increased rates
of vaginal delivery
●
Acknowledgement
of birth as a natural process
●
Increased
maternal satisfaction
Volunteers
will not only gain holistic exposure to the field of women’s health, but will
also be fulfilled by their abilities to affect positive change in the diverse
patient population they will serve.
But please note: This doula project training does not
certify participants to become a doula in
private practice. For more information on how to become a private pay
doula after this training workshop please visit: How
to become a certified birth doula after completing the NYU Winthrop-LIDA doula
project
Our
next training is November 9th
and 10th. If you are interested in registering for the next
training and learning about pre-training requirements, please reach out to winthroplida@gmail.com.
