CHANS Home Health Care Hospice and Volunteers Program will offer classes for individuals interested in becoming a Hospice volunteer.
Beginning this week, volunteer training sessions will run for 10 consecutive weeks, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursdays in the conference room at the Hospice and Volunteer’s Building, 45 Baribeau Drive.
A completed application and pre-training interview is required for admission to the training program.
“ This free training prepares individuals to deal compassionately and sensitively with end-of-life issues in a volunteer capacity,” a release from the organizations states. “ The weekly training sessions will cover topics such as Introduction to the Hospice philosophy, ethical issues, communication, spirituality, grief and loss, and other supportive and educational topics that will support the relationship between the patient, family and volunteer.”
