targeted, and compliant counseling that makes a measurable difference for those
they serve.

WEBINAR DETAILS
Medicare requires that
counseling services are available to help patients and families manage the
stress and challenges of terminal illness, related conditions, and the dying
process. Are your interventions truly “counseling,” or are they more “supportive”
in nature? Does your documentation specifically reflect counseling
interventions? What does counseling look like in hospice, and how does it align
with your scope of practice? Which theoretical frameworks work best, and which
should be avoided? This webinar provides practical guidance, tools, and
insights that help social workers and chaplains deliver high-level, compliant,
and impactful counseling in the hospice setting.
