SUMMARY:Part 2: Learn How to Facilitate Well-Being Debriefings within Your Organization
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic is taking a stunning toll on the emotional well-being of health care workers. Many of us are looking for proven strategies to mitigate the natural stress\, empathy strain\, and moral distress that we are experiencing. \nPeer-facilitated well-being debriefings are an evidence-based way to provide support to health care workers; they increase social support\, decrease feelings of isolation\, and provide opportunities to learn from each other about coping with difficult issues. The result: positive impact on well-being\, personal resiliency\, improved patient care\, and reduced feelings of burnout. \nIn this two-part webinar series\, Vickie Leff\, LCSW\, will train attendees to be peer facilitators for well-being debriefings\, providing the skills needed to bring this technique to their organizations. In part one\, attendees learned the benefit of peer-facilitated well-being debriefings; the format of these conversations; how to secure buy-in from leadership; and more. In part two\, Vickie will review the techniques previously learned\, and then provide attendees with an opportunity to hone their newly-acquired skills.

SUMMARY:Children's grief and bereavement certificate
DESCRIPTION:Event hosted by: Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association \nDates: April 14\, 21\, 28\, May 5 and 12\, 2021    9am-4pm \nFacilitators: Andrea Warnick\, RN\, MA\, RP\, Liana Lowenstein\, MSW\, RSW\, CPT-S\, Lysa Toye\, MSW\, RSW\, and (Rev.) Andrew Blake\, RP \nThis training is suitable for: Any professional or volunteer who is in a position to influence the  support received by a grieving child. This includes front-line workers  and volunteers such as medical professionals\, educators\, clergy\, social  workers\, administrators\, residential workers\, counsellors\, funeral  service providers and hospice volunteers. \nOverview: Grief is a confusing and isolating experience for any person\, old or  young. Children’s grief\, however\, differs considerably from adult  grief\, resulting in the needs of grieving children often being  overlooked or misunderstood. This can have a profound impact on the social and emotional development of a child. Caregivers\, including the  most skilled professionals\, often feel helpless when supporting children through the death of someone close to them. \nThe children’s grief and bereavement certificate program explores the roots of our  cultural discomfort with the topic of children and death and exposes  common myths and misconceptions.  This certificate program aims to equip you with skills to provide support to children\, youth and families grieving  the dying or death of someone they care about.  Adults cannot change the  reality of a death occurring in a child’s life\, but with the right  tools they can play a powerful role in shaping the story of the child’s grief experience and therefore help the child thrive in life. \nThe individual webinars may be taken separate from the certificate program as stand-alone trainings; however\, all five webinars must be completed to obtain the certificate. \nTo register for webinar series or an individual event click here \nTo save 10% use promo code: CHPCA10

SUMMARY:Can we talk? How a shared language of care can promote a palliative approach to heart failure
DESCRIPTION:Event Hosted by: Canadian Palliative Care Nursing Association (CPCNA) \nEvent cost: Free to members\, $40 to non-members \n\n\n\n\nHow can a patient with advancing heart failure (HF) experience care that alleviates suffering and helps them to live their best life? While some progress has been made to integrate a palliative approach to the care of these patients and their families\, challenges exist in bridging the two distinct care cultures of HF and Palliative Care. Essential to this important practice shift is the effective communication between health care providers\, patients and their family caregivers. This presentation will explore how the Heart Failure Palliative Approach to Care (HeFPAC) was designed to build capacity for care through a shared language that fosters communication about priority issues that commonly arise in advanced HF. \n\nPresenter Bio: \n\n\n\n\nPatricia Strachan RN MSc PhD is an Associate Professor in the School of Nursing at McMaster University. She is Chair of the Canadian Association Schools of Nursing Palliative and End-of-Life Care Interest Group and Co-Chair of the Healthcare Communication in Nursing Special Interest Group for the European Association for Communication in Healthcare. A passionate and innovative nurse educator\, Patricia draws from the arts and philosophy to engage learners in imagining the possibilities for nursing. \nTo register click here
