Empowering Caregivers: Tools and Strategies for End-of-Life Support
Caregivers often feel unprepared to provide end-of-life care and seek guidance from Hospice and Palliative social workers on with their caregiving role. They also struggle with how to interpret and discuss experiences such as hallucinations or perceived visits from deceased loved ones. These challenges can be overwhelming and sometimes traumatic. In this Zoom presentation, Nicole Patterson, LCSW and Suzanne Nicholson MDiv, MSW will examine these concerns through the lens of social work, providing guidance on compassionate and effective family support, while addressing the interrelated social, medical, and spiritual dimensions that emerge at the end of life.
