LegacyWorks End-of-Life Doula Services

Resources

IF YOU OR A LOVED ONE IS HAVING THOUGHTS OF SELF-HARM OR SUICIDAL IDEATION, GO TO THE NEAREST EMERGENCY ROOM IMMEDIATELY OR CALL 988 TO REACH THE NATIONAL SUICIDE AND CRISIS HOTLINE (24/7/365)

Please be aware that these resources are meant to be a starting point only and the providers have not been personally vetted by LegacyWorks End-of-Life Doula Services nor have we verified the licensure of individuals or entities on the list as that status can change rapidly and should be checked immediately prior to hiring (this can be done on the PA state website: https://www.pals.pa.gov/#!/page/default ). You should always interview potential providers to make sure they meet your needs and that you feel comfortable with them providing care for yourself, your loved one, or your animal companion. If you would like assistance preparing for interviews, please contact legacyworksdoula@gmail.com to arrange a doula appointment.
