The DTD Postpartum Course (online)

$100.00

Our DTD Postpartum Course is a comprehensive examination of the first year after a pregnancy ends. Amy Gilliland has spent three years pulling together materials from academic sources as well as raw lived experience to craft this journey. Dr. Gilliland developed this course to help a wide range of people through the postpartum period, focusing largely on parents, educators, birthworkers, nurses, family visitors, sexuality educators, and therapists. This course also supports the healing needs of people after their own challenging births and postpartums.

This course is an online, self-paced journey exploring a wide range of topics through learning activities, short lectures, and edutaining videos.
