Upcoming Webinars
Walking the Path of Complicated Grief
Every Wednesday 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM until October 6
The third wave of the COVID-19 Pandemic has emphasized the extensive amount of complicated grief that people are experiencing. This twelve session webinar series will focus on the latest research and clinical interventions on complicated grief as it relates to COVID-19. The focus of the webinar series will be to give participants practical tools that will help people work through their complicated grief.
Interviewing skills from a cultural diversity lens
Wednesday, August 4, 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
This training session will focus on some of the best practices while recruiting volunteers or staff while being mindful of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Building a supportive and inclusive culture is paramount for sustaining employee morale in any organization. This session will help bridge any gaps between your experiences and those of an unfamiliar candidate. You will also learn how to attract and retain diverse talent.
Record Keeping, Policy Check and PHIPA
Thursday, August 5, 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
This training session will discuss the dos and don’ts of record keeping. Recording all of the information you need about volunteers and staff in properly maintained files not only makes it easier for you to access when you need it but reduces the risk associated with litigation. You will also learn what policy checks are and their importance within an organization. The collection of personal health information and disclosure via the Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA) will also be discussed.
Enhancing Resilience – Virtual Self-Compassion Training for Individuals with Life-Limiting Illness, Caregivers and the Bereaved
Friday, August 27, 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
This webinar will explore the Practicing Self Compassion bereavement support group at St. Joseph’s Hospice of London. Previously an in-person support group, SJH moved it to a virtual format in April 2020 and has been running the program online throughout the pandemic with positive results. Participants will gain background knowledge of the practice of Self-Compassion, and why it is an effective bereavement intervention. Additional learning outcomes include the processes, challenges, and successes that come with adapting an existing program to an online format.
