3rd ANNUAL WORLD TRAINING DAY ANNOUNCED!!!!

FREE DEATH DOULA TRAINING FOR FAMILIES ON APRIL 20TH


At a time when death and grief seem to loom over our daily lives, one organization hopes to allay the fear and anxiety most people associate with dying by offering free training in a long-lost skill: caring for a loved one at end-of-life..

On April 20, 2021, the third annual Doulagivers World Training Day will bring thousands of people together in free virtual workshops to learn caregiver skills for facilitating a peaceful final passage -- from helping a loved one draw up a living will, designate a health proxy, and create an advanced directive to arranging goodbye conversations with family and friends. So far, more than 60 free webinar events will be hosted in over 10 countries including the US, Canada, Uruguay, the Philippines, England and Nicaragua. Anyone can sign up for the free events www.worldtrainingday.org.

As a hospice nurse visiting dying patients just one once a week to provide medical care if they were stabe, O’Brien knew that much of the burden fell on family members who tended to dying loved ones throughout each day, usually with no training or experience. She founded the International Doulagivers Institute in 2008 to provide holistic training for professional death doulas as well as family and friends who want to learn how to care for a dying loved one.

Since then, more than 100,000 people have participated in the organization’s basic family caregiver training, including more than 8,000 who have participated in World Training Day since 2019. For many, the experience transformed their expectations and experiences of death; one woman, Mary (whose last name is being withheld for personal reasons), said the training allowed her to bring peace to her dying grandmother by helping her to fill out a living will, prioritize her wishes amid family turmoil, and take control over her end-of-life journey.

“A hundred years ago, end-of-life care was a skill that was handed down from generation to generation,” said O’Brien. “Our goal is to give everyone the peace of mind that comes with knowing that when the time arrives, they will be better prepared to help their dying loved one face death without fear and anxiety, and will be able to spend those final days in peace and comfort.”

Doulagivers World Training Day consists of a webinar and Q&A session in which O’Brien demystifies the dying process by breaking it down into three common phases: shock, stabilization, and transition. For each phase, she walks participants through interventions that can be used to provide physical, emotional and spiritual support for the dying person as well as their loved ones.

Participation in Doulagivers World Training Day is free! Participants can choose between two live 90-minute webinars at 8am EST and 8pm EST, both of which will be followed by a live Q&A. This year’s event will also honor healthcare workers, families, and patients affected by COVID-19, helping participants discover a sense of community in the face of a pandemic. often require people to maintain distance from dying loved ones.
