Doulagivers Level 1 End of Life Doula Training - Veterans Edition is based on the free, family caregiver training already delivered to more than 256,000 individuals all over the world by Suzanne O’Brien RN, founder of the International Doulagivers Institute, which trains professional death doulas who bridge the gap in health care between patients/families and hospice care.

“Veterans experience extraordinary emotional and mental challenges as they near the end of life due to the experiences and trauma they endured serving their country,” O’Brien explained. “Recognizing their specific needs and providing them with proven techniques to help them on their life journey is a tremendous gift we are delighted to share with military families.”

A military veteran who has devoted her career to the needs of veterans and their families facing the end of life, she currently volunteers with hospice, serving veterans and their caregivers and partners with professional organizations in areas related to the needs of veterans and their families facing the end of life.
