Doula Peer Review
Doula peer review brings together BABI birth doulas on a regular basis to discuss their cases and learn from each other. It is an opportunity for community cohesiveness and can serve as a foundation when difficult situations arise. Sooner or later in every community there will be an issue that must be faced. Having ongoing peer review provides a stable environment for solving problems and lending support to one another. Participation is geared towards doula education and support it is a great learning experience for everyone.
Beyond community support lie the professional ethical concerns. Peer review adds validity to the doula professional development and/or certification process. The public can know that their doula participates in peer review, and that, if a concern is raised, there is a platform for discussion and follow-up. Health care practitioners and other care providers can also know and recognize the professionalism involved in maintaining local peer review.
Please make every effort to attend one peer review per month. We're doing everything we can to make them accessible for all.
