WEBINAR DETAILS

Agencies are required to conduct a bereavement risk assessment, yet many are not certain what needs to occur next. What happens if/when it is determined that a person is suicidal and high risk? Is it possible for someone to be low risk today, but then high risk tomorrow? Is it OK to send mailings to people who are medium-to-high risk as a stand-alone intervention? What does “counseling” mean when Medicare says it must begin at the time of admission? This webinar will answer these common questions within the framework of developing exceptionalism in bereavement care and counseling.

Hospice
Palliative Care
