This presentation is designed for the general public as well as medical and hospice providers to explore how a death doula (aka end-of-life doula) can provide emotional, spiritual and practical support to individuals and their families before and after death. We’ll also explore how doula care complements medical, hospice and pastoral support. The focus will be on understanding options rather than skill-building or certification. If becoming a death doula is something you have considered, this is a great opportunity to learn more before taking the next step.
