EDUCATING COMMUNITY: DO I NEED A DOULA?
This new monthly call is for laypeople to meet with INELDA educators and end-of-life doulas to learn about the role of doulas at end of life. Participants are encouraged to ask questions and converse directly with practicing doulas to better understand how they might benefit from working with an end-of-life doula. This discovery call is open to everyone and is a free offering. Pass along the information to spread awareness in your community about EOLDs—this is a great opportunity for INELDA community members to share information with your own communities. The first call will be held Wednesday, November 5. Register HERE.
