The Role of the Social Worker & Chaplain in Pain & Symptom Management

Actually, yes they do, and as a matter of fact, from a true interdisciplinary perspective, we are all responsible for all of the goals on the plan. We do this within our scopes-of-practice of course, yet chaplains and social workers play a critical role in pain and symptom management specifically as well as addressing suffering in all of its forms. This webinar will provide important information and skills development work related to the psychosocial/spiritual components of pain and symptom management. We will also explore the interconnectedness of pain and suffering and specific counseling approaches we can take to intervene.
