BOLD 2008

Seattle Midwifery School is once again a proud sponsor of Puget Sound area BOLD events. BOLD is a global arts-based movement inspiring communities to create childbirth choices that work for mothers through education, truth and action. BOLD includes Red Tents for the sharing of birth stories and performances of Karen Brody's play, BIRTH, which tells the true story of eight powerful women giving birth in America today. See community events below for Puget Sound area performance dates. For national info, visit www.boldaction.org.

Organizations Celebrate CPM Issue Brief Release

Certified Professional Midwives are a strong and growing group of maternity care professionals, and NACPM, MANA, MEAC and NARM celebrate the release of An Issue Brief: Certified Professional Midwives in the United States! This document is the result of an historic collaboration among the organizations that played essential roles in the formation of the CPM credential and in the ongoing support for the profession.  It is the first comprehensive description of the profession and will be useful to CPMs and to women and families, as well as to legislators and policy makers who need to know about the contribution that CPMs are making to maternity care in our country.  Download the Issue Brief (pdf)
