Your Birth, Your Voice-
Navigating Birth Settings with Confidence
In this single-evening class, you and your birth team will be empowered with advocacy tools to achieve a birth that aligns with your values and maintains your autonomy. In the first hour of class, you will learn your legal rights, as well as tangible advocacy tools. In the second hour, we will practice these tools through simulations and role play. Leave with clear verbiage to advocate for what matters to you in your birth, as well as a take-home advocacy tool card deck.
Partners will have a new-found sense of purpose in the birth room and the tools to support it!
This is an essential class for those planning a hospital birth, but also for those planning a birth center or home birth. Learning advocacy skills in all birth settings is crucial, but especially if a birth necessitates an unexpected transfer.
Class includes access to private online portal with education documents and resources.
