Death Doulas – An Overview and Local Initiatives
Death doulas are emerging as a potentially important new form of community-based caregiving. Also known as end-of-life doula, death midwife or end-of-life coach, death doulas are trained, non-medical professionals who work with healthcare providers to care for the dying and their loved ones. Their role is to help people make the choices they want for their death experience, and to do so with comfort and support. The presentation will provide an overview of this growing field and highlight a local doula program. Join us to learn more!
Webinar is FREE, but registration is REQUIRED.
Together we will:
1) Increase our understanding of death doulas, including doula certification
2) Explore how death doulas can work with hospice, palliative care and other medical providers to support the dying and their families
3) Identify resources for connecting to death doula services, including services for the County’s diverse and vulnerable communities
