Prerecorded Racism & Privilege in Birthwork CE Course

This continuing education course covers racism and privilege and its effects in birth work.

We also offer several tools and processes to create change in the birth community. This workshop is open to all birth workers, such as physicians, midwives, doulas and any professional that works with birthing people in any capacity.

General Information

Topics that we will touch on include: Birth, Racism, Privilege & its Effects, White Silence, The History of Racism in Birth, and Action Steps.

In this workshop, we will be:

  • discussing the meaning and importance of racism & privilege and its effects

  • discussing our own privileges, the lens we see the world through & how it affects others

  • learning the definition of “birth worker privilege” and the role it plays in our current birth environment

  • discussing how racism & privilege plays a role in birth disparities, such as the black maternal and infant health disparities

  • learning useful tools/processes, such as The CARE Method, for participants initiating or continuing work to advance conversations about racism & privilege at their own lives & organizations

  • discussing how to apply learning to participant's personal & professional life moving forward to create better access and experiences for everyone

As a full-spectrum organization, we prioritize creating courses and offerings that contribute to reproductive justice for all.

“SisterSong defines Reproductive Justice as the human right to maintain personal bodily autonomy, have children, not have children, and parent the children we have in safe and sustainable communities.”

Doula work is community care work, and while trainings and training organizations like ours may be relatively new, this work is not.

We honor all of the people who have been doing harm reduction work, particularly people who use drugs themselves, who have always been the primary providers of care for this community.
