WEBINAR DETAILS
Many team members come to hospice understanding
that they need to provide grief counseling, yet what does that really mean for
chaplains and social workers? What is their counseling scope-of-practice? This
webinar will define grief counseling and illustrate situations that fall
outside of a chaplain’s or a social worker’s line of work. Using the
interactive chat box during the live webinar, you can discuss which theoretical
frameworks are a good fit for grief counseling within your agency. You will
also learn which models are outdated and why, and what models to use now to
guide your practice of work. Participants will gain valuable skills and information
as they relate to the work of social workers and chaplains in the hospice
setting.
