Abortion work
Hi everyone! I am a social worker and former public defender and I’m interested in becoming a certified abortion doula. It’s something I’ve been thinking about for years, ever since I learned it was something that existed. I admire birth doulas and full-spectrum doulas hugely, but abortion work is something I’ve always wanted to get back into and this a way of doing it that really aligns with my values. I realize it will likely be mostly volunteer work unless I’m somehow able to form some kind of partnership with a clinic and I’m okay with that as I am currently employed. I have been doing a little bit of research and I came across Rouge Doulas, which was recommended to me as a starting point for training, as well as Allo Doula Academy, BirthPro Full Spectrum Training, and The Lemon Grove. Does anyone have experience with any of these or recommendations for any other training programs? Thanks in advance!
