Professional Trainings
Our nonprofit organization offers trauma-informed trainings for perinatal professionals on working with trauma survivors before, during, and after their birth. We offer these trainings worldwide. Typically, we partner directly with organizations, hospitals, public health systems, and other institutions to provide trainings to their employees and associates. Occasionally, we offer trainings open to the public, often in collaboration with a professional who wants to host a training in their region.
Please review our public training calendar and training descriptions below. If you would like to discuss bringing a training to your institution or region, do not hesitate to reach out via our contact page.
