How would you rate your agency’s bereavement care? Does the word “exceptional” come to mind?

What does that even mean? However you define it, it’s likely there’s room for improvement. Take this opportunity to discover how to define the word as it applies to hospice and follow the presenter as he delves into creating and maintaining an exceptional bereavement care program.
AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
  • Deliver five key messages to your organization about the benefits of high-quality bereavement care and services
  • List three ways team members can help refer and plan for expanded services and interventions
  • Explain the importance of informing and including the community in your comprehensive services
  • Involve patient care teams in bereavement care in two ways that actually make their jobs easier
  • Distinguish between counseling groups and socialization groups as you plan for expansion

WEBINAR DETAILS

Is your program so-so, pretty good, or exceptional? How do you know? Comparing yourself to other programs is not a useful benchmark since much depends on the size of the program, availability of highly qualified bereavement professionals, and availability of dedicated volunteers. Another contributing ingredient to achieving exceptionalism is an organizational understanding of the importance of a comprehensive approach to bereavement care. This webinar will explore what it means to create and maintain a high-quality bereavement program.

THIS WEBINAR WILL BENEFIT THE FOLLOWING AGENCIES:

  • Hospice
  • Palliative Care

This informative webinar will benefit bereavement professionals, leadership, and team members wanting to know more about the potential for expanded bereavement services.
