Do your volunteers possess the critical skills they need?

Has their role been well defined or are there gray areas? This important program will go beyond Medicare’s minimum standards and delve into other essential volunteer areas like boundary definitions, suicide intervention, grief and loss guidance, and more.
AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
  • List six main volunteer training topics included in Medicare’s Guidance for States
  • Identify five additional topics that are recommended to include in your training course
  • Discuss the critical role of volunteers in suicide intervention
  • Describe one curriculum model that can be used for teaching volunteers about suicide intervention
  • Enumerate three major components in the creation and maintenance of personal and professional boundaries for volunteers
  • Explain the role of volunteers in addressing the grief and loss emotions of patients and families

WEBINAR DETAILS

After completing training, your volunteers should be fully prepared for the work they face. Most programs utilize a standardized curriculum that meets Medicare guidelines, yet those topics are meant to be “minimum standards” and miss some very important issues and necessary skills.
This webinar will explore several critical skills, including setting and maintaining personal and professional boundaries, the critical importance of supervising volunteer boundaries, volunteers’ part in suicidal ideation intervention, their role in assessing and providing grief and loss support and guidance, and other important dynamics.
