Touchstone's curriculum
“Juli and Nickie’s CBE facilitators course is so, so much more than just learning the facts and physiology of prenatal care, labor and birth, and the postpartum periods. They teach you how to use such skills as trauma informed care, inclusivity, body positivity, and harm reduction frameworks to be able to give and inform your own clients of the full spectrum of birth - so they can go into their own birthing experience knowing all of their rights, to fully prepare them for the journey ahead, and creating better birthing outcomes. I cannot even begin to explain how important this training is for birth workers and for the movement of reproductive justice. BIG things happening here!”
