LGBTQ+ Competency in Lactation
Supporting the diverse needs of the LGBTQ+ community.
15th & 17th July 2024: 7pm - 9pm BST

Welcome to a transformative journey with the LGBTQ+ Competency in Lactation Workshop, led by AJ Silver – a Queer birth & postnatal Doula, Breastfeeding counsellor, babywearing consultant, author, speaker, and LGBTQ+ activist.

Embark on a learning experience where you will:

  • Explore Foundations: Delve into the basics of language, stats, statistics, terminology, and the rich history of the LGBTQ+ community.

  • Ignite Confidence: Leave the workshop equipped and motivated to make your business or services accessible and inclusive for LGBTQ+ parents.

  • Understand Systemic Challenges: Engage in discussions about the systematic and personal oppressions faced by the LGBTQ+ community, recognising the risks and hurdles they navigate.

  • Real-Life Insights: Listen, dissect, and learn from real-life case studies of LGBT+ families in the UK, gaining invaluable perspectives and understanding.

  • Allyship Mastery: Comprehend your place and purpose as a true ally to the diverse experiences of LGBTQ+ folks.

  • LGBTQ+ Lactation Basics: Learn the essentials of LGBTQ+ Lactation, including inducing lactation, feeding after top surgery, hormones, and co-nursing.


This workshop, now a mandatory education component for various Doula schools and Hypnobirthing practitioners training courses, aims to create an open, safe, and educational platform. Peer support and shared learning are the cornerstones of your journey towards LGBTQ+ Competency.

Engage in lively discussions, share resources, and openly express your experiences with a cohort that understands and supports your unique challenges and triumphs. All attendees will be invited to an exclusive closed Facebook group, fostering an ongoing environment for discussion and growth.

What You Can Expect:

  • Inclusive Environment: An open, safe, and honest space for exploration.

  • Discussion and Questions: Ample room for questions, discussions, and insights.

  • Resource-Rich: Leave armed with further learning resources to deepen your understanding.

  • Flexible Payment Options: Choose from split payments and tiered pricing for your convenience.
