Are you a professional who provides psychosocial-spiritual care to patients and families receiving palliative care and the bereaved in Alberta?
Developed with Alberta content, the Psychosocial-Spiritual Alberta Series is open to social workers, spiritual care providers, creative arts therapists, occupational therapists, counsellors, psychologists, and other clinicians providing direct emotional and spiritual support.
The topics explored will be relevant to emotional, spiritual, and grief support in palliative care and bereavement as well as self-care for clinicians. This is a great opportunity to build connections and deepen your knowledge.
We ask that you commit to attending as much of the series as possible. It will continue from January through June 2024, with sessions occurring on the third Thursday of the month from noon to 1 pm.
