The True Midwifery Birth First Aid for Mother and Baby course has been running since 2022 as a series of 5 workshops via Zoom given by Ruth Ehrhardt (True Midwifery) and supported by Samara Hawthorn (WellMama CIC) and Lana Petersen (Home Birth South Africa and Lalilu Doula Care).
This course offers a non judgemental and, home birth friendly platform for birth attendants from around the world to share, discuss and learn potential issues that may arise with mother or baby at a birth.
It is free birth supportive and friendly and open to ANYONE attending births at home in ANY capacity.
The course has been popular and a rich learning space for the diverse groups of people who have attended the workshops.
The course will now be moving onto the Teachable platform alongside the other True Midwifery and WellMama offerings.
The course will now include pre recorded video demonstrations (example video to view here) and support material and access to the online platform will run for approximately 3 months with the options of joining group calls and sessions, or doing a self study route with the option of 1:1 coaching as an extra option should you need it.
As always in the True Midwifery learning space, we remain committed to upholding the component of equality and accessibility by ensuring a sliding scale of costs for the courses, as well as making scholarships available to those who need it.
For returning students, we also commit to offering generous discounts to our previous students.
We plan to run this new format of the birth first aid course in September of 2024 and to open for bookings in April or May of 2024.
If you would like to be notified when bookings open, please add your details to this WAITING LIST so that you can be the first to know when bookings open!
We would also appreciate some feedback from you regarding your needs for the course - this helps us ensure we meet participants’ needs.
Yours in deep appreciation,
Ruth and the True Midwifery Cohort
