Ensure your whole team is on the same page and move beyond “provided emotional support.” This webinar will review the critical counseling approaches and interventions that are essential for all hospice and palliative care social workers.
AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
- Discuss the critical role of social workers as counselors
- List four theoretical frameworks that fit well with end-of-life care practice
- Examine four common challenges social workers face when creating patient/family informed plans
- List three methods for providing e-counseling
- Apply concepts and skills to specific patient/family situations
WEBINAR DETAILS
How often do you read the words “provided emotional support” in team documentation? The problem is people don’t need a licensed professional to be emotionally supportive. During these times of social isolation (a devastating new normal) interventions must begin at a level that is well beyond “emotional support.” This webinar is designed to assist new and experienced hospice and palliative care social workers to “get on the same page” when it comes to critical skill sets. We begin this process by covering evidence-based counseling practices specific to end-of-life situations, goals, and anticipated outcomes. The webinar will move well beyond “supportive” interventions and focus on theoretical frameworks adapted to common and challenging situations healthcare workers face on a daily basis.
Attendance certificate provided, however there are no pre-approved CEs associated with this webinar.

Community-based palliative care is well positioned to be the bridge across the continuum of care settings as we move to a more patient-centric healthcare system.
AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
- Identify candidates for a community-based palliative care (CBPC) program
- Define requirements of a CBPC program

- Evaluate if a community needs a CBPC program
- Identify what payer sources are requiring of CBPC programs
- Explain the difference between hospice and palliative care and how your agency can integrate palliative care into the community
WEBINAR DETAILS
There is strong evidence proving community-based palliative care can significantly impact quality of life, resulting in more compassionate, affordable, and sustainable high-quality care, including improving hospice use. Many hospital systems have palliative care programs, but after discharge the continuation of palliative care in a community-based program continues to be a challenge.
This webinar will address the benefits and value of a community-based palliative care program, including how palliative care can serve people during a national health crisis like COVID-19. It will examine key program principles and requirements and how to identify potential integration and growth areas. Payer source opportunities for program integration will also be covered. Characteristics and best practices of CBPC programs will be reviewed to help your agency benchmark for quality, policies, and training.
Attendance certificate provided, however there are no pre-approved CEs associated with this webinar.
THIS WEBINAR WILL BENEFIT THE FOLLOWING AGENCIES:
- Hospice
