Doulas are instrumental sources of support; however, there are few trainings created by and for doulas on healthy relationship education and addressing IPV. In this practice note, we describe the development and evaluation of a mixed-media, hybrid, longitudinal training for a cohort of English- and Spanish-speaking community doulas on supporting IPV survivors during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. A multidisciplinary team of IPV advocates, IPV survivors, doulas, community leaders, artists, and researchers co-created the training. The training comprised videos, podcasts, in-person sessions, and a longitudinal learning collaborative. Eleven doulas completed the training and provided feedback via surveys and semi-structured interviews. Participants found the training to be engaging, interactive, and insightful in learning about IPV. They valued hearing their colleagues and friends facilitate the training and appreciated the opportunity to reflect on their own experiences with IPV. Participants also described the importance of creating a linguistically affirming space and noted that complex topics like IPV require continuous skills-building opportunities, learning, and community support. Next steps include continuous learning and team building for the doulas through the longitudinal learning collaborative and revising and expanding the training based on doulas\u2019 experiences working with IPV survivors. We also aim to incorporate training feedback for future doula cohorts and enhance its sustainability and community-building aspects by using a train-the-trainer model.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/15248399261481153","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,18]],"date-time":"2026-09-18T07:03:46Z","timestamp":1789715026000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Development and Pilot Testing of a Novel Training for Doulas Addressing Intimate Partner Violence"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"given":"Maria Camila","family":"Arbelaez Solano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Pittsburgh, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amber","family":"Edmunds","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MAYA Organization, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christy","family":"Cozby","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MAYA Organization, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patience","family":"Williamson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MAYA Organization, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Caitlin","family":"Donahue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Women\u2019s Center and Shelter of Greater Pittsburgh, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ta\u2019lor L.","family":"Pinkston","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Healthy Start, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ashley","family":"Woolheater","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Services Allegheny County, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Felicia","family":"Savage Friedman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"YogaRoots on Location, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joseph","family":"Amodei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cynthia","family":"Salter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Pittsburgh, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Virginia","family":"Duplessis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Futures Without Violence, San Francisco, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dara D.","family":"M\u00e9ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Pittsburgh, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4443-6829","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maya I.","family":"Ragavan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Pittsburgh, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_1","unstructured":"Chen A.
