Franciscan Health Crown Point hosting doula workshop
CROWN POINT, Ind. — Franciscan Health Crown Point is hosting a DONA International Birth Doula workshop over two weekends in February and March.
Doulas are trained professionals who provide continuous physical, emotional and informational support to their clients before, during and shortly after childbirth. A doula may help communicate a woman’s birth plan, create a comfortable environment during delivery or simply provide the general support a family may seek during this pivotal time. A doula does not perform clinical tasks.
The Franciscan Health Crown Point Family Birth Center offers doula services to families free of charge via a volunteer doula program.
The doula workshop will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Central on Feb. 21-22 and Feb. 28-March 1 at Franciscan Health Crown Point, 12750 St. Francis Drive. Participants must be 18 years old or older and attend all four days of classes to receive a certificate of completion.
The workshop fulfills two requirements toward certification as a DONA International Certified Birth Doula, Introduction to Childbirth and Doula Birth Training. The cost for the workshop is $600 and is payable within four days of registration.
Registration and payment must be complete by Feb. 2. For more information, please call (219) 746-9134. Franciscan Health #wims
