"The archived webinars have been so useful in my journey to be a doula. The one on dementia gave me a real understanding of what I witnessed as my mother spiraled in her last weeks of life ... I felt like I took a semester long course in one hour. The webinars are truly worth the price of membership."

—Linda Alvarez-Cruz, Bronx, NY
