Process-oriented Palliative Care: Training in End of Life Care for Professionals, Families, and Caregivers

Ingrid Rose Ph.D. and Kay Ryan MHSc.

This certificate training course focuses on the development of tools and techniques helpful in connecting with patients in out-of-ordinary states of consciousness, such as those found in illness, autism, dementia, vegetative states, coma, or at the end of life. It will present in-depth training in process-oriented techniques that enhance skills for relating to loved ones and patients, providing ways in which to support the individual’s inner and outer experiences, as well as develop communication with them.  The course will take place over a period of 2 years and will be taught through workshops, teleconference, e-mail discussion, and peer group interaction.   Workshops will include theory, demonstration, supervision, video and case study, and hands on practice.
