A NARM Registered Preceptor is a credentialed, experienced midwife who agrees to train apprentice midwives intending to apply for the Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) credential and has current, approved registration through NARM. When entering into a preceptor/student partnership, each party is expected to act in a professional, responsible, and respectful manner towards the other. This webinar provides guidance on how to become a Registered NARM Preceptor, an overview of student and preceptor responsibilities, a review of the NARM Application process and documentation of clinical skills, and an exploration of the ethical considerations for the preceptor/student relationship.

The benefits of breastfeeding are well known. Less known is how pervasive and long-lasting the effects of sexual abuse can be. As many as 1 in 3 women are survivors of contact sexual abuse. And, unfortunately, sexual abuse is rarely over when it's over.

Most new parents state that they want to at least "try" breastfeeding. And yet everyone knows someone for whom breastfeeding "didn't work". While informed care can sometimes help families stick with breastfeeding, even well-intended support can be triggering. Providers who deal with new families must have a working knowledge of sexual abuse as well as a trauma-informed approach in order to effectively support breastfeeding families. Learn how abuse can impact ability and desire to breastfeed, red flags that could indicate a history of sexual abuse and practical tools to support all families in a sensitive way.

This lecture was originally offered as part of the GOLD Lactation Conference 2018.

The birth of a child is a time of profound transition and adjustment. The care that a family receives during the perinatal period can have a lasting impact on the rest of their lives. Respectful, kind, culturally sensitive and evidence based care results in families who feel valued and empowered as they start the journey of parenthood. This has far reaching implications for the physical and mental health for both parents and child. As care providers during this vulnerable period, it’s important that we have a clear understanding of the potential impact of our practices.

The birth of a child is a time of profound transformation. The physiological transformation of the birthing parent and the infant, the transformation of the family unit, and the transformation of communities and society as a whole. Knowledge of the physiological and psychological changes that happen during birth is critical, and our understanding of this amazing process is growing rapidly. Along with respect for the intense biological changes that are happening during this vulnerable period, respectful, kind, culturally sensitive and evidence based care results in families who feel valued and empowered as they start the journey of parenthood. This has far reaching implications for the physical and mental health for the parent(s) and child. As care providers, it's important that we have a clear understanding of the potential impact of our practices.
