Moving Beyond Emotional Support - Targeted Counseling Approaches & Interventions

How often do you read the words “provided emotional support” in team documentation? The problem is people don’t need a licensed professional to be emotionally supportive. During these times of social isolation (a devastating new normal) interventions must begin at a level that is well beyond “emotional support.” This webinar will cover critical counseling skills that are essential for all hospice social workers.
