The number of people facing the end of life without friends or family is startling. Our mission is to minimize the emotional, spiritual, social isolation and loneliness that so many individuals experience at the end stage of life.
The Doula Program to Accompany and Comfort specially trains, carefully matches and supervises Doula Volunteers who visit individuals living at home, in nursing homes and in hospitals throughout New York City. Doula Volunteers visit weekly for an hour with one individual for as long as that individual lives, whether 5 months or 5 years.
Individuals we serve as less alone as a result of a relationship with a Doula Volunteer.
The Doula Volunteers and those they visit form meaningful connections over time. The commitment of the Doula Volunteer is to this unique relationship. These special bonds continue as the person's illness progresses or their location or service provider changes.
Age Minimum (with Adult): 25+, Minimum Age:25+
