Volunteer Training & Education
Volunteers play an important role at The Center for Hospice and Palliative Care. Most volunteers must complete a training program that includes:
- Hospice and palliative care philosophy and concepts
- Physiological and psychological aspects of serious illnesses
- Family dynamics and coping
- Communication and listening skills
- Emergency procedures
- Practical care-giving techniques
- Grief and bereavement
- Upcoming Trainings
The Center for Hospice and Palliative Care,
Inc. invites individuals to attend the upcoming patient care volunteer
training.
The training will focus on the hospice
philosophy, communication skills, spirituality, family dynamics,
patient care, bereavement, and much more. Following training,
volunteers will assist patients and families in St. Joseph and
LaPorte Counties with respite, transportation, laundry, errands
and companionship in their homes, in Hospice House, the agency’s
inpatient unit, or in nursing homes. Current need is for volunteers
who can commit to daytime assignments for at least one year.
