Hospice Education Days 2022

Working within the Complexities of Grief

The pandemic has precipitated a multitude of losses to individuals, not only by way of death of loved ones, but also through isolation, income insecurity, cancelled milestone celebrations, and a lessened ability to obtain support and resources that were utilized prior to COVID-19 restrictions. Society’s lack of comfort and ability in addressing and supporting those grieving or bereaved adds to the complexity.

Furthermore, in British Columbia, the advent of natural disasters, increased homelessness and the deaths associated with Illicit Drug Toxicity, has influenced the manner in which health providers support their communities.

This two day education event will focus on the complexities of grief supports as it relates to both staff and volunteers alike. There will be elements of workshops, training and discussions, that also examines, best practices.
