NJ Approved Doula Trainings
Community doulas are equipped to meet particular needs of our NJ FamilyCare members and other under-served communities. This is a current list of Approved Trainings as of March 15, 2022.
Under NJ FamilyCare (Medicaid), doula services will be delivered by providers with community doula training from an approved training program. Approved doula trainings that qualify but will require additional coursework called Supplemental Community Competency Training (SCCT) are marked with an asterisk (*) and labeled. See here for more information about the SCCT training and to register.

NJ Supplemental Community Competency Training (SCCT)
Dear New Jersey Doula Community,
The New Jersey Doula Learning Collaborative announces a significant milestone in the evolution of our organization. Starting in July 2024, the NJDLC will be transitioning into three regional hubs across the state.
​
As such, the NJDLC will no longer host the Supplemental Community Competency Training (SCCT).
​
To register for this training please visit the New Jersey Department of Health's website which can be accessed here.

For all additional inquiries, email: Doula.FHS@doh.nj.gov.
