OBAA 2023 AGM followed by the Education Session, presented by Sarah Tewhey, L.Ac.

The 2022 OBAA AGM is scheduled for November 3rd at 12pm PST (please check your timezone) and the Education Session will be presented by Dr Laurena White, MD, OBGYN, L.Ac.: Identifying and treating rashes in pregnancy: annoying itch, or RED FLAG?

We would like to welcome all members to the 2021 OBAA AGM on November 4th, at 11:30am PST. Following the AGM, there will be a FREE class on supporting Queer/Trans/Gender Non-Conforming Families in the Perinatal Period.

This 2h workshop examines various birth settings and models of care that have historically included/excluded queer birth. Our goal is to help you develop an understanding of (some of) the specific needs of queer + trans folks in the perinatal period and explore tools to provide support as a birth and/or postpartum professional.

Some of the topics included in this session are:

1. Terminologies/language to use when supporting queer/trans folks in birth and postpartum

2. Intersectionality and the impact of race, class, gender on the experiences of birth and postpartum for queer/trans families

3. Queer/trans family planning: modalities & costs

4. Second-parent adoption laws

5. Steps towards building queer inclusive practices.
