END OF LIFE DOULA CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
Ten Thousand Doors
End of Life Education Canada
“creating an era of dying & death embodiment”
Vision
We offer the most comprehensive End of Life Doula training program in Canada where participants gain knowledge through study of the evolution of death care, historical religious and cultural practices, dying and death theory and practical skill development. The academic curriculum focuses on knowledge from today’s thought leaders and modern-day ‘end of life’ pioneers.
Educational Foundation
The role of the end of life doula is relatively new in the evolution of end of life care. Our organization and educational programs reflect our commitment to establishing standardized practices and adhering to well-defined core competencies. The education and training provided within the End of Life Doula Care Certificate Program is based on the curriculum ascribed to by birth doulas; theoretical, evidence-based and practical in nature. End of Life Doulas are non-medical care providers.
There will be homework assignments, essays, quizzes, and a final multiple-choice exam. Attendance is required at each weekend training session, for certification. The remaining work is to be completed within one year from start date of program. This includes a capstone project and volunteer/mentorship work.
End of Life doulas are gaining momentum in the death positive movement. They find employment through private practice or contribute to an inter-disciplinary team.
