As an SBD CCD doula, you’ll provide support to your immediate niche community – your college campus or faith based congregation. To enroll in the program, stillbirthday will receive your completed enrollment as well as a formal recommendation letter from a collegiate counselor or pastoral staff member on your behalf. Letters should be sent directly from the counselor or pastor and can either be emailed to Heidi.faith@stillbirthday.info or mailed to:
The M0M Center
c/o Heidi Faith
101 W. Washington Street
Kearney MO 64060
You will be notified via email once the letter is received and you’ve been accepted into the following training session.
To complete your CCD enrollment, you’ll:
- successfully complete the full 8 week online portion of the doula training, along with the book reviews and community project
- enter our CCD private community, where you’ll review two selected articles of your choosing as they pertain to your niche area of service, and write a review on those two selected items.
- continue to offer and to receive guidance in serving families from within your special niche area of service.
Once you have successfully completed the full training and have earned the SBD credential, you’ll have access to information, wisdom and mentorship from within the CCD community and faculty.
