Grounded Presence: Navigating Difficult Situations as a Hospice Volunteer

Join us for this season's Volunteer Symposium as we explore strategies for navigating challenging patient situations and strengthening your impact as a volunteer.

Have you ever wondered:

• How do I connect with a patient who has sensory challenges?
• How can I engage with a nonverbal patient?
• Am I making a meaningful difference in my patient's well-being?
• How do I maintain healthy boundaries and expectations in my role?

We'll discuss these topics and more on September 19.

Morning highlights include:

• A volunteer panel sharing real-life experiences and lessons learned
• Interactive breakout sessions with role-playing activities
• Opportunities to connect with fellow volunteers
• A special presentation by Todd, Chaplain at Compassus Hospice, on engaging with nonverbal patients

These symposiums are always inspiring and informative. The event is free, and we hope you'll join us for a meaningful Saturday morning. Please register using the link below.

Coffee, tea, water, and light refreshments will be provided.

Parking: GPS typically does a good job of getting individuals to the main building, but it can feel a little confusing because you can’t see our building from the road. We are approximately half a mile northwest of the Parker Road exit at I-225. We are at the intersection of Parker and Dartmouth, and at that intersection is the Horan & McConaty Funeral Home building, located on the southwest corner. We share a parking lot with them, but are in the building behind them. Enter the parking lot on Dartmouth between the signs for Horan & McConaty and the Raven Apartments. Or from Parker Rd, take the first right after the Parker & Dartmouth intersection and enter through the parking gate, then follow the signs for HeartLight Center. Note: for the weekend, the gate may be closed.
