cert. to teach fertility awareness method?

[conniebonnie]

anyone here certified to teach fam? I would like to get my certification but am having a heck of a time getting any information that isnt related to the catholic church.
Any news?

I'm a accredited Billings Ovulation Method teacher but am also Catholic. One of the things we had to agree to in becoming teachers was to follow the Church's teachings on family planning. Billings is not FAM though (no barrier methods allowed, abstaining during fertile times). IME, most NFP organizations are associated with the Catholic Church.

Just googled a bit and found Justisse. Haven't heard of them before but seems to be a secular organization.

Wow, that Justisse link looks really interesting and thorough. Pricey! It's something I may look into after I have practiced (as a midwife) for a few years. I have always thought a midwife's scope should extend to pre-conception and fertility, but there wasn't much included in my curriculum (Canada).

I didn't notice the cost when I first looked at the site. Yikes! It is rather expensive.
