Description

Dealing with family members can be challenging – especially if they don’t candidly communicate with the terminal patient. 

What if they don’t want you to talk about death and dying? What are your ethical obligations? What if trying to please them leads to an empathic paradox? Join hospice expert Gary Gardia to discover how to effectively deal with these difficult situations. 

AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO: 

•Discuss common challenging situations and why they are a struggle

 •Understand how the “desire to please” can get you into trouble

 •List two techniques to place family concerns “on hold” so you can back up and lay important groundwork

 •Explain how the law and ethics can and should influence communication 

•Distinguish between denial, fear, and religious/cultural practices in a family’s perceived resistance
