About the program
The Death Doula Progressive Learning Program offered by Home Hospice Association is tailored to provide ongoing education and support for death doulas seeking to enhance the theoretical understanding acquired from prior training with other organizations or institutions.
Through a structured emphasis on practice workshops, case studies, outreach assignments and role-play scenarios, this program offers a dynamic, hands-on continuation of death doula education and training. Participants will have the chance to bridge theory with real-life situations, thereby enriching their practical skills and knowledge.
