This training is education, not a credential. Finishing it does not certify, license or accredit anyone, and it does not qualify anyone for any job or payment. A doula is a non-clinical helper and does not give medical, nursing, legal, tax or financial advice. Quality Death has not vetted every program or organization named on these pages. In crisis or thinking about suicide, call or text 988. In an emergency, call 911.
