Assisting People to Find Meaning & Purpose with 10 Important Questions

This is especially true for people who are approaching death. Do you know how to help people find meaning and purpose at this vulnerable stage? This insightful program will help “frame” these terms as they apply to this portion of people’s lives and give you 10 important questions to help your patients review, discern, and reach their best-possible outcomes.

• Contextualize the concept of “purpose” as it relates to end-of-life closure
• Define “meaning” in terms of serious illness and life limitations
• Discuss the use of the meaning model
• List 10 questions that can be used to help people identify areas of importance
• Describe each team member’s role in reinforcing goals around meaning, purpose, and life closure

What are the problems and how can they be solved? This question might very well serve as an indicator for how hospice and palliative care have mistakenly marched right down the path hospice pioneers were trying to avoid - the medical model. Providing support is, and must be, about so much more than just diagnosing people’s problems and then coming up with a solution. 

What about end-of-life closure? What about helping people explore opportunities and possibilities? What is the role of meaning and purpose as life comes to an end? This webinar will look at what it means to coach, guide, and accompany people as they achieve their best possible end-of-life experience.
