ASP's unique curriculum is offered by a crew of educators and caretakers committed to working toward death care justice and community care.
Facilitators, guest teachers, and students learn in cohort with a shared intention to create learning space which is well resourced, full of dialogue, and curated for relationship building, understanding, and engagement.
Death Doula Training is education for any person and equips us to grow skills for supporting a person or a group during end-of-life and death.
We welcome any person with the intention to create a space for dialogue, relationship building, understanding, and engagement. This is the start of a journey and is recommended for all people who will die, or know someone who has.
Join us for ASP's Spring 2023 Cohort!
Mondays & Wednesdays | April 3rd - May 24th
Course Description
This online course includes comprehensive discussions surrounding the history and culture of death care in the United States, highlighting themes of choice, access, oppression, and liberation in death care. Together we will study & discuss nonmedical, medical, and legal components of end-of-life and death care with details and stories of different procedures, methods, and frameworks for body and mind during death.
Death Doula Training with ASP encourages and centers conversation surrounding dominant cultural norms and justice-based alternatives for support techniques. We will highlight options available related to choice in death care and comprehensive resources for the surviving care team (medical, nonmedical, community, etc). In practice, this learning also includes ongoing grief tending and skill building as we learn together. We will engage in grief care throughout the 8-weeks together through artwork, poetry, games, and a two part living funeral ceremony.
Students will learn in cohort with to identify resources that broaden their existing nonmedical care practices to include practical end-of-life and death care skills. Training for caretakers centers what role a support person can hold while working in these oppressive and bias systems that exist in the United States, particularly for those who do not have access to death care.
The cohort meets for 2 hours on Monday & Wednesday online via zoom, 6 - 8PM PT for 8-weeks, a total of sixteen live sessions. In addition to weekly gatherings, there is self-paced content modules on Thinkific included pre-recorded content and resources.
