Virtuous Doula Training Program

Empowering Doulas with Cultural Sensitivity & Trauma-Informed Skills

Virtuous Doula Training Program is a 12-week intensive designed to prepare doulas for impactful work in maternal health deserts and underserved communities. Our training is rooted in cultural sensitivity, trauma-informed care, and inclusivity, offering specialized tracks and hands-on experience to ensure doulas are equipped to serve diverse populations effectively.

What Our Training Offers

1. Core Doula Training: Covering essential maternal health competencies, this course includes community health worker education, CPR and HIPAA certifications, and reviews of the latest Perinatal and Maternal Health Reports (PAMR), with Continuing Education Units (CEUs) available.


2. Mandatory Clinical Program: To ensure doulas are fully prepared for real-world settings, our clinical training is an essential part of the curriculum. Trainees work alongside nursing staff, follow competency checklists, and practice effective communication protocols to gain valuable hands-on experience in clinical environments.


3. Refresher & Recertification: Every 2–3 years, doulas can participate in refresher courses focusing on self-care, mental health screenings, and the latest practices in cultural sensitivity and trauma-informed care.


4. Multilingual Training: With classes in Somali, Arabic, and French, our program supports bilingual doulas and community members who wish to serve non-English speaking populations, especially within maternal health deserts.



Virtuous Doula Training Program provides an accessible pathway to skilled, compassionate doula care that is responsive to the needs of underserved communities.
