Community VNA to Host Hospice Foundation of America’s 25th Annual National Living with Grief Program®
Transforming Loss: Finding Potential for Growth Registration Now Open for Community Education Program
Attleboro, MA – Community VNA Hospice invites you to join us for a free educational and inspirational program about positive change and action by the bereaved in the aftermath of loss. Join us Monday, September 17, 2018 for “Transforming Loss: Finding Potential for Growth.” This free film and panel discussion takes place from 1:30 to 4:00 PM at Community VNA, 10 Emory Street, in Attleboro, Mass.
While most people are able to cope with the pain of loss, up to 10 to 20 percent of bereaved persons have more complicated reactions that may impair and impede functioning for a prolonged period of time, according to the Hospice Foundation of America (HFA), which has for more than two decades offered a nationally recognized distance learning program watched in thousands of communities across North America. HFA’s educational events have been instrumental in educating healthcare professionals and families on issues affecting end-of-life care.
The program will serve a wide range of professionals working with loss, including: counselors, social workers, case managers, certified nursing assistants, clergy, funeral directors, health care professionals, home health aides, therapists, nurses, nursing home administrators, physicians, psychologists, social workers, and others working with the bereaved.
In addition to a certificate of attendance, two continuing education units are available, at a cost of $21 per certificate, for nurses, social workers, and a variety of other professionals. Information on approved board certifications is available at www.hospicefoundation.org/LWGboards.
For additional information, or to register by Monday, September 10, 2018 contact the Development Office at Community VNA by calling 774.203.1308, or email: register@communityvna.com.
