UNDERSTANDING TRAUMA
Trauma is a word that is used very often in the helping professions, but what exactly is trauma as it relates to end of life and the doula approach?
INTEGRATING A TRAUMA-INFORMED APPROACH
Trauma-informed care is becoming the gold standard across the helping professions. Your work as a caregiver or end-of-life doula specifically or someone in a helping profession in general, can be greatly enhanced by applying this compassionate body of knowledge.
Trauma-informed caregiving is an approach to service that empowers providers to support individuals and families in a more sensitive, compassionate and safety-enhancing way. In this 3-part series, learn the basics of trauma and its symptoms, how to proactively and responsively deliver trauma-informed care, and how to effectively manage the reality of vicarious trauma as a caregiver or death worker.

EDUCATORS
Our growing team of educators draws from decades of work as end-of-life doulas. Their insights and stories from the bedside capture the essence of doula work and inspire attendees to walk with them on the same path. They also have extensive backgrounds in trauma-informed care, nursing, social work, spiritual care, grief, the healing arts, adult education, and hospice administration. Every one of them has also completed or is engaged in INELDA’s doula certification process.
