The persistent proliferation of polarizing topics these days can make it difficult to provide calm and consistent quality care.
Can you suspend judgment if a tough
topic comes up? Can you maintain professional boundaries? Will you spend the
same amount of time with clients with whom you agree or disagree? Learn
strategies, methods, and conversation tips to help with challenging situations.
AFTER THIS
WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
- Describe four situations where it might be challenging for care team members to suspend judgment in order to provide optimal care
- Understand how and why conversations surrounding topics such as religion or politics can interfere with quality patient/family care
- Detail two situations where skillfully participating in and/or acknowledging certain topics, while observing professional boundaries, can actually assist in providing quality care
- Explain three key concepts that assist in framing a “professional” conversation surrounding potentially challenging topics
- Apply two methods/approaches to common situations with colleagues, patients, families, and others that can assist in maintaining professionalism and boundaries
WEBINAR DETAILS
Interacting with people
who don’t think the same way you do may not be so easy. The hospice promise is to
help everyone to have their best possible end-of-life experience, regardless of
who they are, their backgrounds, their beliefs, or similarities and
differences. Sometimes the people who speak loudest about this as their guiding
principle have the most difficult time with it. It can be very easy to justify
or rationalize our beliefs as being “right” which can lead to feeling extremely
uncomfortable in the presence of those who think differently. Will a political
sign in the front yard change how you present or perform when you enter that
home? This webinar will explore how to approach these types of situations and
how to stay on top of, maneuver around, or suspend judgment in order to provide
optimal care to all.
THIS WEBINAR WILL BENEFIT THE FOLLOWING AGENCIES:
- Hospice
- Palliative Care

challenging webinar is designed for all hospice staff and volunteers. It is
