SUMMARY:Dignity Therapy Training Workshop 2020
DESCRIPTION:CancerCare Manitoba is proud to present an intensive two-and-a-half-day Dignity Therapy Training Workshop led by Dr. Harvey Max Chochinov. The goal of Dignity Therapy is to help bolster the dignity of dying patients and address their suffering. This therapeutic intervention invites individuals with life-limiting illnesses to reflect on matters of importance to them. \nUsing the Dignity Therapy protocol and following the respondent’s cues\, a trained therapist facilitates the expression of thoughts\, feelings\, and memories that are compiled in a narrative document for the patient to share with a friend or loved one. The benefits of Dignity Therapy have been published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology and the Journal of Palliative Medicine. \nThe workshop is a dynamic blend of lectures\, small-group discussions\, demonstrations of Dignity Therapy in action\, and hands-on opportunities to begin to learn how to carry out this novel intervention. The working language of the workshop is English. \nThis workshop will be of interest to: \n-Clinicians who work with palliative care or geriatric patients and who are in a key position to use Dignity Therapy \n-Researchers who wish to include Dignity Therapy in the development of new research projects \n-Health care administrators/nursing home administrators responsible for creating and operationalizing an approach to care that supports and affirms patient dignity and personhood \nFor workshop costs and accommodation information please click here. Early bird ticket sales until May 31.

SUMMARY:The Leader’s Role: Forging New Paths for Racial and Health Equity
DESCRIPTION:Organized by Center to Advance Palliative Care \nThe first six months of 2020 have presented unprecedented challenges to palliative care program leaders\, first with the COVID-19 pandemic\, and then with much-needed attention to racial injustice. Those two intersect when one considers the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on people of color. \nThis webinar\, part of CAPC’s leadership series\, tackles the subject of how palliative care leaders can reassess and strengthen their program’s response to racial inequity. Panelists will discuss how to understand and identify organizational issues and constructs related racism. They will outline actions\, big or small\, that programs and individuals can take to dismantle racism and promote health equity\, and invite participants to contribute ideas to this timely discussion. \nPresented by: Betty Ferrell\, Michael Fratkin\, Tammy Kang\, Sherika Newman\, Donna W. Stevens\, Jeanne Sheils Twohig \nAvailable for CAPC Members. To login and register click here.
