The Palliative Care and Hospice Caregiver's Workbook: Sharing the Journey With the Dying

This educational workbook helps people who build compassionate relationships with dying people. Accompanied by its Educator's Guide, it presents a comprehensive, sequential learning program for caregivers in non-medical capacities covering everything from self-understanding to spiritual issues, listening skills and expressive activities, developing the skills, awareness and resilience needed for this privileged and sensitive role. The program includes a variety of learning experiences, including large and small group activities, discussion, close reading, creative writing, self exploration, and skill development and practice. This is an invaluable resource for small groups of individuals who wish to volunteer in hospice or palliative care settings. A copy of the guide for educators is included in each pack of workbooks, and is also freely available online.
