We will review common doula services\, common misconceptions\, professional boundaries\, and what\ndoula training typically emphasizes. \nParticipants will learn what to expect from doula support\, when it may be helpful\, and practical questions to ask when seeking services or considering doula training in the future. \nThis course is appropriate for adults who are curious about end-of-life doulas\, those planning ahead for themselves or a loved one\, and those considering training as a doula.
