Workshop Prerequisites

DONA International trainers often have specific prerequisites for attending their workshop, so be sure to check with your trainer when you register. Trainers manage their own workshop registration, so reach out directly to the trainer to get signed up.

Workshop Type

As you search for workshops you will see that they are listed as virtual, in-person, or hybrid.

– Virtual: a LIVE virtual workshop where 100% of the requirements for workshop completion are met virtually with a DONA-approved trainer

– In-Person: a workshop where 100% of the requirements for workshop completion are met in-person with a DONA-approved trainer

– Hybrid: Hybrid workshops are those that have a virtual and in-person component. Both parts must be taught by the same trainer and, when possible, with the same cohort. Hybrid workshops are not trainings taught in person with a live/streaming video feed.

As a doula, midwife, or birth professional, you play a critical role in ensuring the safety and well-being of both birthing parents and newborns. When clients are taking psychotropic medications such as SSRIs, understanding the potential effects on pregnancy, labor, and postpartum recovery is essential. This course provides evidence-based guidance on recognizing the signs of serotonin syndrome in infants, understanding the risks associated with SSRI exposure, and effectively communicating with healthcare providers to advocate for the best possible care. By equipping yourself with this knowledge, you can confidently support your clients in making informed decisions that prioritize both their mental health and their baby’s safety.
