YouthASC Abortion Support Training
Welcome to our YouthASC Abortion Support Training!
This training series is for young people ages 14-24 and introduces the tools, resources, and skills for abortion support work. We welcome anyone interested in becoming an abortion doula, companion, and/or support person. The training will center youth-led abortion support efforts, and we will also discuss how to best offer support as community members.
Dopo defines an Abortion Doula as “Anyone that can physically, emotionally, and/or spiritually hold space for someone before, during, and/or after abortion.” This training series explores different forms of practical support that may show up in clinical and non-clinical contexts, providing support for procedural and medical abortions, and how to organize your campus community to create support networks.
