Dealing with family members can be challenging – especially if they don’t candidly communicate with the terminal patient.
What if they don’t want you to
talk about death and dying? What are your ethical obligations? What if trying
to please them leads to an empathic paradox? Join hospice expert Gary Gardia to
discover how to effectively deal with these difficult situations.
AFTER THIS
WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
- Discuss common challenging situations and why they are a struggle
- Understand how the “desire to please” can get you into trouble
- List two techniques to place family concerns “on hold” so you can back up and lay important groundwork
- Explain how the law and ethics can and should influence communication
- Distinguish between denial, fear, and religious/cultural practices in a family’s perceived resistance
WEBINAR DETAILS
Have you ever been met at the door with, “You can
come in, but you can’t talk about death and dying and please don’t mention the
word ‘hospice’” or “We don’t want Dad to know he is dying”? You may say, “Sure,
that is fine” but is that even legal or ethical? The real issue is, do you have
the skills to identify, differentiate, and/or address fear, uncertainty, or
religious/cultural practices? This webinar will explore dynamics surrounding
some of the common daily challenges.
