    Event Details

    Description: International Doulagivers World Training Day is a worldwide training event where the Doulagivers Level 1 End of Life Doula Community Caregiver Training is held on the same day all over the world. Death is something that we all have in common no matter what culture, religion, or socioeconomic status.

    We believe that this education to support people to have the most positive end of life experience is a human right- not a privilege.
    Learn how to care for someone who is dying through all three phases of end-of-life. We are pleased to offer Doulagivers® Complimentary End-of-Life Doula Family Caregiver Training. The information presented in this training is appropriate for everyone: family, caregivers, volunteers, and community members.

    Participants will learn about the three phases of end-of-life and the interventions they can use to provide comfort and support to both the patient and their loved ones. This workshop empowers individuals to embrace the concept of community; caring for each other at the end of life.

    What you will learn:
    The three (3) phases of end-of-life:

    1. The Shock Phase
    2. The Stabilization Phase
    3. The Transition Phase.

    What interventions can be used in each of the three (3) phases to ensure optimal comfort and care.

    This is a free event.
    Level 1 seat reservation directly supports International Doulagivers Foundation, Inc. www.indgf.org
