Doula Connections partners with organisations; support at home providers, aged care facilities, disability, providers and palliative care to build workforce capacity and confidence with providing support for clients and families at end of life.
We provide consultancy, workforce planning and development and access to experienced end of life doulas, who you can engage to support your participants and work in collaboration with your teams.
Our experienced end of life doulas, who are also expert trainers, will design tailored training to build knowledge and confidence in your team and help them to be comfortable and confident around dying and death.
Your team will learn what to expect at end of life, how to hold space, communicate openly and work alongside others with a calm, respectful presence. It’s about becoming more than just compliant, it’s about becoming an organisation known to provide beautiful, respectful end of life support and care.
An organisational support package aimed at helping you to design an effective but heart centred end of life care and support pathway. The program will be tailored to your needs.
Can Include:
Sometimes you need additional, non-clinical support for clients and families to help them make their plans and also during active end of life. Our experienced doulas can be engaged as needed to support your participants. Working in partnership with you, they are there to fill non-clinical care and support gaps, provide respite and bring their end of life experience to multiple situations that we know can come up.
Engaging with our consultancy and training programs leads to meaningful outcomes for your team, including clearer systems and improved communication across roles. Staff gain greater confidence in supporting people and families through end of life care. With a more prepared and compassionate workforce, organisations also experience fewer crisis situations and unplanned service escalations.
