Palliative & End of Life Care
The Society is offering a comprehensive course in working with chronically & terminally ill patients and their families - Palliative Care
The Society is offering a six session comprehensive course in working with chronically and terminally ill patients and their families (palliative care) during the coming year. The need to provide care for the psychosocial-spiritual needs of chronically and terminally ill patients and their families is a rapidly growing public health concern, as the number of people living with chronic illnesses, a number of them older adults, is increasing significantly. Studies have demonstrated that the provision of care to address the psychosocial spiritual needs of these patients and their families increases quality of life and frees up strained physician resources. Clinical social workers, who historically use an holistic bio-psycho-social-spiritual model, are particularly well-suited to provide these services in collaboration with physicians. You may read the attached pdf file to find out more about this course. For further information contact Hillel Bodek at 718-596-7364 or at PalliativeCare.Pain_ClinicalSW@Verizon.net.
