Several national organizations offer education, standards, professional communities and public information about end-of-life doula work in the United States.
NEDA publishes a model of care, scope of practice, code of ethics and core competencies. It also offers proficiency assessments. NEDA explains that end-of-life doulas are not licensed by a national or state governing body, so visitors should understand the difference between training, proficiency credentials and professional licensure.
INELDA is a US nonprofit offering end-of-life doula education, certification pathways, community and a practitioner directory.
CaringInfo, a program of the National Alliance for Care at Home, offers public resources on advance care planning, hospice, palliative care, caregiving and grief.
