Harm Reduction for Birthworkers
What you’ll receive when training with us:
Accessible online live and pre-recorded learning modules led by a multidisciplinary team of birth workers, nurses, midwives, organizers, and advocates with lived experience and a shared vision of collective liberation through birthwork.
All classes are closed captioned, our live sessions are recorded with replays available, and you have access to the material for two years after you sign up. You'll gain immediate access to free live virtual group mentorship and our private Facebook group.
Full spectrum doula training through an expansive lens that encompasses the entire reproductive lifespan and all its transitions. You'll receive an evidence based, trauma informed, justice rooted training to equip you for the birthwork practice that fits your needs and the needs of your community.
We use the green bottle sliding scale framework to price our courses equitably.
"For a sliding scale to work it relies on the principles of truthfulness, respect for complexity, and accountability. I do not ask for income verification. I trust my students and clients to be honest. Community thrives when accountability is a central value, because that is where trust grows and depth work can be done. Teachers deserve to get paid and students deserve classes which recognize the multiple realities of economic access and privilege that exist." - AJC

“WOW! I am so grateful that I decided on Cornerstone to complete my doula certification. This online program was seriously amazing, and helped me, as a registered nurse, to truly look at birth in a completely different way. I feel that I will be able to provide my clients and patients with a care that goes so much deeper than just physical, but emotional, spiritual and mentally.”

“I had spent time looking for trainings and did not feel moved by what I had found or the interactions I experienced, but when I came across Cornerstone, I knew I had found the right course. Thank you for the spotlight you put on birth rights advocacy and the inequalities faced by women of color, particularly Black women. Thank you for your mindfulness. My identity intersects at many points, and my whole self felt seen throughout this training.”
