Doula CEUs

Continuing Education for Community Perinatal Doulas

Born Again Academy offers continuing education (CE) topics to strengthen safe, scope-appropriate, compassionate support across pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

How Continuing Education Works

CE topics are delivered online, either asynchronously (self-paced) or synchronously (live sessions), and are accessed individually inside our course hub. Most topics are designed to be completed in approximately 1.5 to 2.0 CEUs (estimated time-on-task) and typically include a lecture component, a quiz, a practice activity or worksheet, and required reading when assigned. All CE content reinforces a non-clinical, safety-first doula posture.
