Educational Sessions


Continuing education is a necessity and a priority for anyone working in maternity care. The Lethbridge Doula Association is dedicated to educating our members, from updating our doula skills to being aware of the latest research. Due to the difficulty and financial limitations of our members to access distant learning or to attract educational speakers to Southern Alberta, we are committed to making educational opportunities more accessible through a continuing education lecture series, mentoring program and partnerships with other local associations and professionals in the birthing community. Educationcal sessions are held at various locations throughout Lethbridge and Southern Alberta.  Watch for details.
