Opportunities for Advocacy and Intervention at the End of Life
The growth of the discipline of palliative care and the aging population in the U.S. provide numerous opportunities for psychologists to intervene along the end-of-life spectrum. This introductory session will review definitions of palliative and hospice care, review literature on the most common concerns facing adults at the end of life, and offer evidence-based strategies that psychologists can implement in this population. This workshop will discuss how culture influences end-of-life conceptualization and preparation and review strategies for psychologists to implement as they cope with their own grief following the death of a client.
This workshop is highly interactive, utilizing a combination of experiential practices and group discussion to facilitate learning.
