Another Layer of Care How End-of-Life Doulas Support Individuals, Families & Care Teams

Another Layer of Care: The Role of End-of-Life Doulas offers an introduction to the growing field of end-of-life doula care and the meaningful role doulas play in supporting individuals and families through serious illness, dying, and grief. Grounded in training through the International End of Life Doula Association (INELDA) this presentation explores how doulas provide non-medical guidance, education, advocacy, and presence—helping people navigate difficult conversations, honor wishes, and feel supported through life’s final transition.

Attendees will learn how end-of-life doulas can complement existing care teams to create a more compassionate, person-centered experience for patients and those who love them.
