DOULA TRAINING FOR CARE PROVIDER ORGANIZATIONS
INELDA assists hospices, palliative care services, hospitals, assisted living and long-term care facilities, as well as communities in establishing end-of-life doula programs to serve their populations. We recognize there is no “one size fits all” answer to the needs of organizations due to variation in resources and the makeup of individuals served. INELDA offers customized training services by providing programs based on the unique aspects of each organization or community. For more information please send inquires to [email protected]
