In palliative and grief care, there is often a component of suffering that we cannot “fix” or “take away”. Instead, as psychosocial-spiritual professionals we are called to companion and support, foster coping, processing, treatment, and sometimes healing.
This Community of Practice seeks to develop the clinical and self-care skills of professionals providing psychosocial-spiritual care to palliative patients, families and the bereaved in Alberta.
Developed with Alberta content, this series is open to Social Workers, Spiritual Care Providers, Creative Arts Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Indigenous Liaisons, Counsellors, Psychologists, Nurses, and other clinicians providing emotional and spiritual support. Come explore relevant topics, meet your colleagues, deepen your knowledge, and build connections.
We encourage you to attend all sessions, as able.
