Creative Programming for Caregivers & the Bereaved

11/07/2024

12:00 pm

Webinars

Based on data and research, hospice programs nationally are not good at serving the needs of people who are considered medium-to-high risk. In general, lower-risk individuals are the ones accessing bereavement services. Could that be because the “standard” services offered by most agencies just aren’t cutting it? This webinar will look at ways to expand your programs and services. In some cases, it may just be a minor addition to what you are doing now. It will also explore services that are more likely to reach out and connect with those with higher-level needs. Join us to take a look at creative programming and services for both caregivers and the bereaved.
