The PALS Doula community contributes through their regular certification process to make certification accessible to BIPOC individuals as part of reparation work. We do not currently offer coverage for birth doula training workshops. The operating costs, continuing education offerings, subsidized Doula Match profiles, certified doula name badges and other expenditures of PALS are funded by certification fees and and paid registrations for PALS CE events. In an effort to reduce barriers, increase equity and make reparations, PALS invites any and all members of the BIPOC doula community to access reduced or no-cost certification, which includes 6 CE credits, as well as CE registration for non-certified doulas (or beyond the included 6 CEUs for PALS doulas).
Below, please complete some basic details and then you will be taken to a page where you can select the amount you would like to contribute, if any. Upon receipt of this request form, our certification team will be in touch with your code to be used at checkout when purchasing the PALS Certification packet or registering for an event. We are excited to have you join our community and are here if you have any questions!
