Course description
Mastering Difficult Conversations in Elder Care (Public Course)
This two-day workshop has been designed to help health care professionals and administrative staff to handle difficult conversations and difficult situations related to Elder Care.
Aging can bring many benefits including extra time to enjoy family, friends and personal pursuits. It can also include: declining physical and mental capacity; illness; disability; complex treatment and care plans; pain; emotional suffering; and the realization that the end of life is approaching.
As a result, Elder Care is a field that is ripe with the potential for difficult emotional reactions, challenging conversations and conflicts. While nothing can completely eliminate these challenges, there are things we can do that will make them better.
Who should attend?
The Mastering Difficult Conversations in Elder Care Workshop is designed for Directors of Care Nurses, Personal Support Workers, Long-term care administrators and staff, Retirement home administrators and staff, Hospital administrators, Hospice staff and Doctors.
We have designed and delivered customized workshops for organizations such as Extendicare, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Ontario Medical Association, Women in Medicine, William Osler Health Centre, Beaumont Hospital, Ontario Patient Relations Association, Aptus Treatment Centre, College of Nurses of Ontario, and St. John Ambulance.
