About the ICTC Full Circle Doula Training
The ICTC Full Circle Doula is a well-rounded professional trained to offer both prenatal and postpartum services. As you may know, there is an alarming disparity of infant mortality in the African American community; ICTC strives to close this gap by training women to become doulas in every communities.
ICTC invites you to encourage your organizational and community front runners to train as ICTC Full Circle Doulas. Our training is built on the legacy of the African American Midwife, who was a pioneer in her community, and we believe this training is the final stage of leadership development.
A Dual Training With Expertise in Labor and Postpartum Care
The ICTC Full Circle Doula Training is an intensive 29-hour (3.5 day) prenatal, labor and postpartum doula training course. Topics include, and expand beyond: The history and duties of labor and postpartum doulas, the legacy of the African American midwife, the midwifery model of care, signs and symptoms of pregnancy, labor and birth, birth justice, perinatal comfort measures, reproductive anatomy, medical terminology, the role of the father, physiology of labor and birth, cultural awareness, breastfeeding support, infant care, postpartum rituals, bonding and family integration, the spirituality of birth, intuition and “Motherwit,” infant mortality reduction, and entrepreneurial skill.
This high energy training is didactic, interactive, and woman-centered and facilitates comprehensive doula care. Graduates of the training receive a provisional certificate and have 2 years to certify. With program completion, the graduate is certified to practice as a labor and a postpartum doula, and though graduates may choose to specialize as labor doulas or postpartum doulas, their knowledge base is still holistic or “Full Circle.”
