Join this enlightening presentation to explore how social workers and chaplains contribute directly to pain and symptom management by addressing the emotional, psychosocial, and spiritual dimensions of suffering within their scopes of practice. We’ll explore the interconnectedness of pain and suffering, highlight assessment cues that signal deeper distress, and introduce practical counseling approaches that can ease anxiety, fear, and existential pain.
