So You Want to Be a Death Doula? | In-Person Workshop

Every family will face the death of someone they love, yet few people feel prepared to help when that time comes. Death doulas are changing that by providing compassionate, non-medical support that helps individuals and families navigate the end-of-life journey with greater understanding and confidence.

This interactive workshop offers an inside look at one of today’s fastest-growing helping professions. You’ll discover how death doulas support people before, during, and after death, how they partner with hospice and other care providers, and why this work is becoming an important part of end-of-life care across the country.

Throughout the morning, we’ll discuss the realities of the dying process, the emotional and practical needs of families, and the skills that allow doulas to provide calm, steady guidance during life’s most difficult moments. You’ll also learn about education and training opportunities, ask questions, and connect with others who share an interest in compassionate care.

Whether you’re considering a new career, hoping to become a better caregiver, or simply want to deepen your understanding of end-of-life care, this workshop provides a welcoming place to explore what’s possible.
