Volunteer Director's Message
mayo 04, 2011 | By: Rose van der Berg, Director of Volunteer Services
Many of our volunteers have told me that personal growth through new learning is important to them. With that in mind, we want to offer more information and opportunities for ongoing learning as part of the volunteer experience with Hospice of the Comforter. I’m excited to share the following links to a wonderful website that provides free access to high-quality education materials and podcasts about palliative medicine and hospice care:
• Click on this link for free text of a great book with ideas to support patients and families: Handbook For Mortals : Guidance For People Facing Serious Illness
• Click on this link for an excellent article on using music to help patients: Music in Care of the Dying
• Click on this link to access free podcasts on various end-of-life care topics: Growth House Radio
• Click on this link to go to the home page of Growth House, Inc., an organization dedicated to improving the quality of end-of-life care through public education
While we continue to provide information on learning resources, we’re developing an adjunct volunteer training that will give volunteers the chance to connect with each other while learning. If you know about a local or online education resource you’d like to share, click here to email me or click here to send us a message through our website.
Our volunteers are all amazing and make an incredible difference in the world. We give many thanks for all they do!
