A message to the CEA/MNY community on COVID-19 Coronavirus

Childbirth Educators have a critical role to play helping parents navigate the birth environment during the COVID-19 pandemic. For parents who may find themselves giving birth without the physical presence of a partner or support person, being informed and having a communication plan is essential for a safe and empowering birth.

The CEA community is here for you. We are working on providing more resources for remote childbirth education classes and are planning virtual support groups for our members and community. CEA/MNY instructors are working tirelessly to support birthing families remotely, contributing to the broader conversation among perinatal professionals on pivoting to virtual support as we all learn to navigate through uncertain times.

Workshops & events are all online until further notice.

All currently enrolled TCPs at the start of the pandemic automatically have a 1 year extension.

Scholarship applications will be delayed until at least 2021 or 2022 to allow current scholarship recipients the extra time to complete certification and receive the support they deserve. 

Stay strong and healthy everyone!
