VOLUME 1 · COURSES OF STUDY FOR THE FATHER

Every father enrolls. Most never get a syllabus.

Dou Bro'z teaches the father three subjects: himself, the mother of his child, and the baby on the way. The instructor is a trained postpartum doula and childbirth educator, based in Chandler.

I. MISSION STATEMENT

Our goal is to arm the father with knowledge of self 101, awareness of mom 201, and preparedness for baby 301.

Each part of the mission is one course. They run in that order, because a father who knows himself listens better, and a father who understands her is ready to care for the baby.

II. COURSES OF STUDY

Three courses, taken in order.

Father. Grandfather. Trained postpartum doula. Trained childbirth educator. Four roles, one kind of student: the man about to become a dad.

I started Dou Bro’z in 2017 because fathers need support and preparation, too. I want to help dads understand themselves, be aware of what mom is going through, and feel ready for their baby.

V. ASKED AT ORIENTATION

Questions dads ask before they enroll.

What is a doula for dads?

A doula supports a family through birth and the weeks after. Dou Bro'z points that support at the father, so he walks into the delivery room knowing his job. [CONFIRM WORDING]

We already hired a doula for her. Do I still need this?
