WEBINAR DETAILS
End-of-life care is about more than comfort and support; it’s about truly understanding the challenges families and patients face. With dementia on the rise and more caregivers experiencing PTSD, skilled counseling can make all the difference. Medicare recognizes this need, requiring hospice programs to offer counseling that eases the unique stresses of a terminal diagnosis. This webinar will explore how mindfulness and deep listening can provide meaningful help in both everyday and complex situations — ensuring no one faces this journey alone.
THIS WEBINAR WILL BENEFIT THE FOLLOWING AGENCIES:
- Hospice
- Home Health
- Home Care
- Palliative Care
