SUMMARY:Talking About Advance Care Planning with clients & thinking about it for ourselves
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by BC Association of Social Workers \nPresented by Cari Hoffman & Laura Gaspard Bainbridge   \nThis online live webinar examines the advance care planning process for working with clients and for ourselves. \nAbout the Webinar: \nPlanning ahead before you are sick is something all of us should do. Yet less than 50% of Canadians have talked with their family or friends\, and only 10% have spoken to their health care providers about their future goals and wishes for their health. Many people don’t know how to begin while others are unaware of how our values influence our health care decision making and that we can have a say in our care. Social Workers are especially skilled at engaging in advance care planning conversations due to the diversity of our areas of practice and notable communication skills. Join us in learning for yourself and your clients the concept of Advance Care Planning\, Substitute Decision Making for healthcare decisions\, and provide insight and resources to start and continue the Advance Care Planning process. \n  \nTo register please click here. Cost is $11.62 (+ fees) for BCASW Members and $27.54 (+fees) for general admission

SUMMARY:Grief in the time of COVID-19: Lessons for social work
DESCRIPTION:Grief is a normal and natural response in this time. Grief is a response to loss that affects our physical\, emotional\, behavioural\, social\, financial\, and spiritual lives. It does not only occur in response to death; any loss can cause us to grieve. So much is being lost in the midst of the COVID-19 global pandemic. Grief literacy provides a way forward. Grief literacy calls on all of us to be better acquainted with grief so that we can support ourselves and one another. This webinar addresses what social workers can do in the time of COVID-19 to be more grief literate. With greater grief literacy\, we can all support ourselves and one another better\, now and in the future. \nWebinar Key Objectives: \n\nReview current theory about grief and loss\nDiscuss how grief is occurring in the pandemic\nDefine grief literacy\nConsider implications for social work practice\n\n  \nWebinar Presenters: \n\nSusan Cadell\, MSW\, PhD\, RSW \nSusan Cadell is a social work researcher and Professor in the School of Social Work at Renison University College at the University of Waterloo\, in Kitchener-Waterloo\, Ontario\, Canada. Susan’s research concerns death\, dying and bereavement\, particularly positive outcomes of caregiving and grief. Susan’s most recent projects concern the public health model of bereavement support\, grief after Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD)\, and tattoos that disrupt\, celebrate or memorialize.

SUMMARY:#GriefLiteracy: Join the movement!
DESCRIPTION:This event is hosted by the Palliative Care and Nursing Ethics Hub of the Centre for Research on Health and Nursing in partnership with the Canadian Nurses Association. \nGrief literacy aims to improve how everyday citizens can understand grief and support one another in it. This concept is embedded in a public health commitment to understanding and addressing the loneliness and isolation caused by grief. The goal of grief literacy is to empower individuals\, networks and communities to support the bereaved among us with everyday acts of kindness and compassion. For greater grief literacy\, change needs to occur at all levels. While certainly some bereaved people need professional support\, for many a salient social response is community-based acknowledgment and validation. \nThis event will be led by two originators of the Grief Literacy concept. Professor Mary Ellen Macdonald will provide an overview of Grief Literacy\, its recent development by an international team of grief scholars\, and its relationship to public health palliative care. Professor Susan Cadell will operationalize the concept of Grief Literacy by providing vignettes that can be used for education and practice. In this talk\, the concept of Grief Literacy will also be connected to the realities of the COVID-19 pandemic. There will be time reserved for open discussion with our two speakers. \nClick here to register and for more information.
