Introducing SBD Chaplains
The community workshops are a wonderful way for newly trained SBD chaplains to introduce their important role in their community, also inviting local members of law enforcement, emergency medical technicians, their local fire department, and their local emergency dispatchers to gather and explore how the SBD chaplain can provide a very unique and very important role in homebirth emergencies, homebirth unexpected fetal and neonatal demise, and, planned home stillbirth, as well as how the SBD Chaplain can assist in home funeral planning.
Let’s get started!

Feedback from Workshop Attendees
Heidi shares her experience and heart and most of all, spirit. We ALL loved her spirit. We all wanted to “put a Heidi in our pocket” when we left. She was amazing.
Cleansing, washing, soaking up and sharing, all symbolic to many things – too many to name at once!
Who are we? What do we bring to births, to women’s experience in still birth or loss? Have mercy on yourself. Get in HER space. Leave your stuff at the door.
We paired up, shared with a friend, our deepest hurts, loss and trials – by stating it on our little window. We started healing from this one little exercise. Wonderful.
So many women who are strong and courageous and bring so much love and tender care to hurting mamas. What an honor to spend time with them.
Heidi is a beautiful light in the darkness.
It was such an honor to hold little Miriam for so long. I felt like I was holding her for all of the mamas out there who cannot hold their babies.
We all are called to different work with mother’s – what is YOUR calling, how are you called?
You are such a beautiful lady, Heidi, in heart, body and spirit!
This was a wonderful workshop – THANK YOU to all women who came and shared and went “deep” Blessings to all of you!
I hope in the future you can attend one of Heidi Faith’s workshops. She is a treasure.
