Abortion companion training
Support people through their unique abortion experiences.
At Dopo, we define abortion companions as ayone that can physically, emotionally and/or spiritually hold space for someone before, during, and/or after abortion. Our abortion companion training is for individuals or teams that are deeply invested in creating spaces, resources, and care for people who have abortions. If you want to do communal abortion work (as a doula, companion, educator, friend etc…) on an interpersonal level, then this training is for you. You will leave this training with the skills to be the abortion companion that your community needs - because all of our communities are different.
Currently, we are only offering bespoke abortion companion training for organisations and private groups who want to upskill their team to provide holistic abortion support. We aim to run an open training for folks to join in late 2024. Contact us if you’d like us to run a bespoke workshop for your team.
Reproductive Justice workshops
A space for knowledge sharing, personal reflection and collective dreaming.
Our workshops are opportunites to deep dive into the various layers of the individual and systems-level work needed to upgrade abortion care, build community and incorporate anti-oppressive practices into personal, organisational and societal practices.
Examples of workshops we’ve run in the past include:
Values exploration (aka values clarification workshops)
Reproductive Justice 101
An introduction to accompanying abortions
Embodied abortions for the queer community
Stopping stigma: The language of abortion
Visit our events page to sign up for our upcoming workshops, or get in touch if you’d like us to run a bespoke workshop for your team.
Consulting
Resource your team, community and movement with care and justice-based strategies.
From creating your own training program to resource development and rebranding, we provide tailored support and advisory services for organisations that are deeply committed to embedding transformative and revolutionary justice-based change to their services, practices and work. Guided by your vision, we facilitate a process of personal and systemic transformation, often integrating somatic and reflective practices, values exploration and storytelling.
⚠️ We don’t provide quick fixes or 1-hour tick box DEI training but work with teams over an extended period of time to develop sustainable practices and re-imagine services which move us towards our collective dream of care, justice and community. Get in touch to share your vision.
Words of appreciation
"Zachi and Carly do not just facilitate sessions, their entire training is a community-bounded learning experience that challenges pre-conceived notions of abortion. This course helped us practice and imagine a new future of truly loving, dignified and meaningful abortion care."

"Training with the Dopo team was like a weekly ‘red table talk’. A great learning experience that allowed us to take a step back, reflect, and share with each other while gaining knowledge to improve our counselling techniques and skills."

"This has changed my life! I cannot thank you enough. Dopo has given me an insight into the person I want to grow into; the valuable work I want to do to provide support for others and the learnings I must carry on with in order to do this."
