BECOMING A DEATH DOULA

BECOMING A DEATH DOULA 

Becoming a Death Doula is an introductory workshop designed for individuals who feel called to support others at the end of life. This educational session provides a foundational overview of the death doula role, training pathways, and the skills needed to offer compassionate, non-medical care to individuals and families during the dying process.

Participants will explore:

• The history and philosophy of end-of-life doula work
• Scope of practice and ethical boundaries
• Emotional, spiritual, and practical support techniques
• Vigil planning and bedside presence
• Legacy projects and life review
• Communication with families and care teams
• Collaboration with hospice and community resources
• Self-care, boundaries, and burnout prevention
• Training and certification options
• Starting a doula practice or volunteer pathway

This workshop is ideal for caregivers, healthcare workers, social workers, spiritual care providers, and community members who want to deepen their understanding of end-of-life care or explore becoming a death doula themselves. Attendees will leave with practical knowledge, resources for further training, and a clearer sense of how to begin this meaningful work.
