Transform end-of-life care with deep listening.
Discover evidence-based
counseling techniques that help social workers, chaplains, and care teams

webinar merging mindfulness, compassion, and clinical skills to strengthen
patient and family support.

- Recognize two high-risk situations requiring both interventions
- Describe two scenarios applying these techniques to traumatic stress
WEBINAR DETAILS
End-of-life care is about
more than comfort and support; it’s about truly understanding the challenges
families and patients face. With dementia on the rise and more caregivers
experiencing PTSD, skilled counseling can make all the difference. Medicare recognizes
this need, requiring hospice programs to offer counseling that eases the unique
stresses of a terminal diagnosis. This webinar will explore how mindfulness and
deep listening can provide meaningful help in both everyday and complex
situations — ensuring no one faces this journey alone.
THIS WEBINAR WILL BENEFIT THE FOLLOWING AGENCIES:
- Hospice
- Home Health
- Home Care
- Palliative Care
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This session is ideal for
social workers and chaplains, but all members of the patient and family care
team will benefit from attending.
