At Lamaze, we’re committed to ensuring that expectant and new parents are armed with the best and latest evidence as they embark on their parenthood journey. That’s why we’ve decided to update some of our existing online parent courses to align with the needs of the modern learner.
Currently, we are seeking proposals from Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educators or perinatal professionals to help us update the following courses:
- First-Time Parents Essential Bundle
- Labor Pain Management: Techniques for Comfort and Coping
- Safe and Healthy Birth: Six Simple Steps
- Breastfeeding Basics: From Birth to Back to Work
- Bringing Home Baby
- Labor Confidence with Lamaze
Course content creators should be familiar with current research related to childbirth education and be able to share best practices and research findings with a parent audience.
Project Overview
- Create instructional videos, write copy, and collaborate with Lamaze Parent Education volunteers and a Lamaze staff liaison/instructional designer
- Reference existing course content to combine with new content to develop
- Record and publish professional, instructional videos that can be used throughout the course(s), while also writing detailed copy.
