Our next doula tea is scheduled for Monday, August 27th, 2012 from 10am-11:30am. [calendar]
This month rather than just gathering to meet and support each other, we have a guest speaker and a topic.
Portland therapist and doula, Keely Helmick, will be joining us and the topic will be setting healthy doula-client boundaries to avoid vicarious traumatization along with some self-care strategies.
There is no fee to attend, but we would gratefully accept your $5-10 donation toward funding guest speakers and mini-workshops like this one (we can take your debit/credit card via Square, to make it extra convenient for you to be able to contribute if you don’t carry cash.)
Please plan on attending if you are a doula, doula in training, or a student doula in the Portland Metro area, and please plan to bring a friend. We would appreciate your help in spreading the word to reach all the doulas in our birth community!! Paraprofessionals are also invited to attend, though we will be speaking specifically to the topic as it relates to doulas, the information will be beneficial to others in related fields.
If you have any questions, please contact Kate@PortlandMamaBabyCenter.com.
