Queer & Trans Reproductive Loss Companion (Doula) Training
Nov 2, 2025-Jan 18, 2026 | Sundays, 3–5 PM ET | 10 Weeks + 2 Bonus Weeks
This is not neutral ground. In a moment where trans lives are under siege, reproductive autonomy is collapsing, and queer families are being legislated out of existence, we need grief companions, healers, and co-conspirators who can hold loss without erasure. This 10-week intensive prepares participants to support queer and trans people through reproductive loss in ways that resist stigma, affirm autonomy, and counter systemic violence.
This training is for:
Community caregivers, doulas, healers, and birthworkers who want to offer grief support that honors queer and trans bodies, stories, and lineages.
Therapists, clergy, peer supporters, and accomplices who know that traditional grief frameworks erase LGBTQ+ and disabled people’s realities and want to practice differently.
Co-conspirators in reproductive justice who recognize that every loss—whether pregnancy, abortion, infertility, hysterectomy, or systemic denial of care—is political, embodied, and worthy of tending.
