This program came about as a result of my attendance at the Chicago Birth Summit in November 2008 and, subsequently, my attendance at the Coalition for Improving Maternity Services' (CIMS) Forum in San Diego during March of 2009. I informally became a representative of the HypnoBirthing Institute as a result of these advocacy-based organizational get-togethers, and I have so much to report!
Here's the specifics of the proposed outline for my 90-minute program:
Title:
HypnoBirthing: Not Just a Method, But a Mission - Becoming a Leader and Promoting Evidence-Based Care
Description:
Is HypnoBirthing just a method or are we really involved int he promotion of better care practices? HypnoBirthing has taken several key steps to join with the wider birthing community in promoting evidence-based, mother- and baby-friendly care. Learn how HypnoBirthing is joining forces with the wider birthing community. Discover how crucial your involvement is as a private educator and the ways you can be involved in advocacy and promotion of better maternity care.
Objectives:
Participants will be able to:
Explain why involvement in birth advocacy is vitally important as a HypnoBirthing Childbirth Educator.
Identify 3 ways HypnoBirthing is working to promote the wider evidence-based birthing community.
Name at least 5 major organizations and movements that advocate for evidence-based maternity practices and how each is involved in this goal.
Name 5 sources that can be used to identify and investigate evidence-based care for your own knowledge and practice.
Name 10 ways that HBCE's can be involved in advocating for better maternity care in the wider community and by representing the HypnoBirthing Institute.
