| Learning objectives 1 | Students will learn the three phases of end of life care and what interventions to use in each phase to help the dying person achieve the highest quality of life everyday. The three (3) phases of end-of-life: The Shock Phase The Stabilization Phase The Transition Phase. The shock phase is the period of time when someone receives a terminal diagnosis. Often times there is an overwhelming feeling of shock for both the patient an the family. The student will learn how to be a supportive presence and how to identify all acute issues that need to be addressed and resolved. Identifying any safety issues and resolving acute issues help to stabilize and bring calm to this very critical period of time. |
| Learning objectives 2 | The Stabilization phase is the period of time where all the acute issues in the shock phase have been resolved leading to a calm controlled environment for the patient and their loved ones. This is a great period of time where we encourage conversations with loved ones, forgiveness to be given and received, life reviews and legacy projects to be done. |
| Learning objectives 3 | The Transition phase is the period of time right before a person dies. It can possibly be one of the most stressful periods due to the many steps and stages that the body goes through. The student will learn each stage and what intervention to offer for maximum comfort. Even knowing that what they are seeing is a natural part of the dying process and not to be afraid can be extremely comforting to family. |
| Description | The Level 1 End of Life Doula Community Caregiver Training allows families to regain and learn the skills of how to care for a dying loved one. This was something that was handed down generation-to-generation 100 years ago. We are bringing this skill back and it is changing the world. Learn how to care for someone who is dying through all three phases of end-of-life. We are pleased to offer Doulagivers ® level I End-of-Life Doula Training. The information presented in this training is appropriate for everyone: family, caregivers, volunteers, and community members. Participants will learn about the three phases of end-of-life and the interventions they can use to provide comfort and support to both the patient and their loved ones. This workshop empowers individuals to embrace the concept of community; caring for each other at the end of life. |
