Description This VIRTUAL LIVE course is a primer in palliative care, providing an overview of the field, digging deep in comprehensive assessment, interventions and skills, and exploring ethical and legal implications in the field. We will discuss self-care and clinician well-being in the work in hopes of creating sustainable practices. Clinicians will leave with an increased confidence in their ability to meet the needs of patients and families across settings. This summer program provides an introduction to palliative care for social workers, marriage and family therapists, licensed mental health workers, case managers, chaplains and people working with older adults. The training includes skills and practice interventions that are needed to assess and support patients and families as they negotiate the trajectory of serious illness. No Palliative Care experience necessary.
