Doula Training Center is an Oregon Health Authority-approved doula training that offers a comprehensive curriculum that supports students on their journey as community doulas.
Our training is founded on Oregon-specific research, is rooted in community-based lived and working experiences, embraces cultural and trauma-informed practices, and supports the fidelity of the Traditional Health Worker Doula model.
We are committed to ensuring that the majority of our students meet the priority communities defined by the Traditional Health Worker program so that families receiving services have equitable access to culturally, linguistically, and life-experience congruent doula care.
We acknowledge the added inequities experienced by Black, Indigenous, Latina/e/o/x, and the global majority birthworkers and ensure that our training ties in the diversity of birthing practices and upskills the technical and systemic aspects of this work. Our post-training mentorship is intended to provide continued guidance and support to doulas as they integrate their services into their community.
