	The Caring for Women Programs As midwives we continually strive to help women give birth to healthy babies over intact perineums. We work to prevent unnecessary cesarean sections, and avoid the need to resuscitate the newly born infant. However, in some instances women sustain tears during birth, some women and their babies need cesarean delivery, and some newborns require help at birth to breathe. Nell offers indepth courses covering the knowledge and skills midwives need to be most effective at being "with woman" no matter how women bring their babies into the world. Midwives need the skills to be experts at assessing for lacerations after childbirth, and performing repair of perineal lacerations when necessary. The "Art of Perineal Repair"  and "Midwife Sewing Circle" workshops hone the midwife's existing suturing skills while introducing new techniques. For women undergoing cesarean delivery, having a midwife as the surgical first assistant at cesarean provides continuity of care, and the assurance that their midwife is watching over them and their baby during the procedure. The "First Assisting with Cesarean" workshop provides hospital-based midwives the didactic education and skills needed to begin mentored clinical experience with confidence and become skilled and competent as a surgical first assistant caring for women undergoing cesarean delivery.
