January 13, 2021 - ZOOM Call - 7-8:30 CST
Death Doula Case Study Discussion
Part of our mission is to be a resource to end of life professionals; January’s topic will focus on the collective wisdom of the group as we will be going through several case studies. In a field where we are still learning and cultivating our practice, many have expressed interest in mentoring. We recognize the value of learning from each other as a necessary component to honing our craft as well as connecting with our community.
We are currently looking for Doula’s who would like to share their experience with a client(s) and would be willing to receive feedback from the group. Please contact Jane Whitlock at jvwhit@gmail.com
