The SMC Full Circle Doula Train the Trainer Program is based on the principles and practices of the African Diaspora philosophy, an integrated holistic, practical system for addressing the learning and development challenges of training worldwide. We help individuals tap into their power to claim and build their strengths, and their community, for women to be honored in pregnancy, labor, birth, and the postpartum experience, with breastfeeding support, newborn care, respecting the father/partner, and extended family; we want them to become pillars in their communities.
