But don't just take it from us! Below are some beautiful things that our students in the last (and first) cohort had to say about their experience.

ROUGE ABORTION DOULA SCHOOL TESTIMONIES:

Rouge Abortion Doula school provides a well-rounded and revolutionary abortion education unlike anything I've seen out there before. Rouge goes beyond physical and legal procedures of abortion and teaches about the spiritual and emotional sides of abortion as well. They are radically honest and do fabulous work integrating the messy, challenging sides of abortion, effectively challenging narratives of what abortion is across the political spectrum. Rouge Doula School is a truly radical and transformative space, and they are doing vital work in a time when many of our abortion rights are being challenged. - Macy

I've taken a lot of courses and workshops about abortions but none of them are like this one. Rouge Abortion Doula School has everything you need to know and goes step by step to fully understand the beauty of counseling abortions in the most integral way possible. I am confident that I have all of the tools that I need to counsel and not only that, but also a community that is willing to teach and learn at the same time. - Silvia

Rouge involves integral aspects of the abortion process, with reliable and experiential knowledge in the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects. The proposal goes beyond the individual and allows reflection on systemic structures that are oppressive on a wider and deeper level. It is a collective, practical, and horizontal process to build community and not give up on the idea of building a better world. - Luciana

If you are a feminist willing to learn, be challenged, and improve with the support of incredible people - you may find your home in Rouge. Whether you are already a seasoned abortion doula or new to this work, and whether you are spiritual or not, you are valued for what you can bring to this community. The training teaches you to center the abortion-seeker's beliefs and lived experiences, and if you value this too, you will be off to a good start. I am grateful for this space, it gives me hope and reminds me of what we can do to care for one another. - Diana

This course has fundamentally changed how I see access to abortion, and how I show up and show support for people in my life. By highlighting real case studies combined with the extensive expertise of the trainers and participants, I can honestly say I have a deeper understanding of the biological, emotional, and spiritual dynamics of abortion care. - Victoria

This is for the ones building new worlds through abortion care.
