Culturally Focused Care and Why I Went Back to Doula School [Episode 27]

  • Summary

  • In this episode, I will be sharing about about the importance of culturally focused care, and training within a cultural context. Sometimes people don't understand why we, as Indigenous people, ask for spaces, training and care that are specific to our cultural practices and traditions. They misunderstand this request as something that would be 'nice to have', when in reality it is absolutely essential. We also discuss some exciting new developments for the podcast!

    TRIGGER WARNING: We do touch on pregnancy loss and abortion very briefly in this episode.
