The Hospice Volunteer Training Online program is different than any program currently offered. It is an introduction to the core concepts of hospice including it's history and philosophy, ethical and privacy considerations, definitions of team roles and eligibility, communication techniques, bereavement and grief explorations, and alternative therapies.
"It is important for clinicians to recognize that well-timed encouragement to consider and explore the use of hospice services, although it may indeed diminish hope for cure or recovery, simultaneously offers an opportunity to engage with important and time-sensitive developmental tasks."
