INELDA Update – SUMMER 2023
PARTNERING WITH THE ARIZONA END OF LIFE CARE PARTNERSHIP
We are excited to be joining in community with the Arizona End of Life Care Partnership. The organization’s mission is “to enhance the way we live by fundamentally changing the way we talk about death. Our community partners provide support, services, and education to help you talk about what’s important to you so that you can live well and end well.” We love the regional community model it created for Tucson and look forward to being a member.

BIPOC PEER MENTORING MOVING TO EVERY OTHER MONTH
BIPOC PEER MENTORING MOVING TO EVERY OTHER MONTH
After hearing from community members this past month, we are moving BIPOC mentoring groups to every other month versus quarterly. INELDA’s Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) Mentoring Group is an educator-facilitated, open discussion about working with dying people and their loved ones. This group offers participants a safe listening space to connect and to cultivate conversations that are specific to the needs of doulas within the BIPOC community.
Save the next three dates:
- September 12, 2023 7:30 pm ET
- November 13, 2023 7:30 pm ET
- January 8, 2024 7:30 pm ET
Contact us for more information or if you have any questions or register here to become part of the group.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Twin Cities Metro Area
We have a volunteer opportunity for newly trained EOL doulas at Providence Place in Minneapolis. This is a unique opportunity to gain a great deal of experience being with residents through the entirety of their end-of-life journey. Providence Place has 20 to 25 residents on hospice at any given time. In a typical shift of one to two hours, doulas will have the opportunity to meet with several residents at various stages of their journey. Because they will be in a skilled nursing facility, they will see firsthand the medical community of the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area. Contact Cate Mahoney or Jane Whitlock at Providence Place.
Central New Jersey
Embracing HospiceCare, based in Monmouth, Middlesex, Mercer, Ocean, and Somerset Counties, is looking to recruit INELDA-trained doulas as volunteers. Contact volunteer coordinator Becky Colby or call (732) 974-2545 for more information.
