"Helping Family Find Emotional and Spiritual Support While Care the the Seriously Ill and Dying"
Caring for a family member who is seriously ill or dying is one of the most difficult commitments an individual is called upon to make. The more individuals can prepare for caregiving, the more likely that it can turn out to be one of the most rewarding commitments in their lives. This workshop will help participants to prepare to assist others through looking at caregiving from the psychosocial and spiritual perspective. This event will take place on October 27th from 9am-12pm. CEUs are available. To register, please click here.
