A Virtual Activity
Continuing Education credits are available.

INTRODUCTION
Spirituality and religiosity are recognized as factors that contribute to the quality of life and coping strategies in many persons facing life-threatening illnesses. These life-threatening events can also give rise to spiritual distress. When combined with chronic or acute pain and other physical and psychological symptoms, spiritual distress can be a component of a patient’s total suffering, which the Palliative Care Team (The Collective Soul) seeks to alleviate, enhancing the human spirit and creating a healing environment in the middle of the distressful situation. The purpose of this course is to provide a better understanding of the Palliative Care Team’s role in enhancing the human spirit and relieving a patient’s bio-psychosocial and spiritual suffering.

DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this educational event is to provide community-based hospital chaplains, ministers, and other interested healthcare professionals with skills for a better understanding of the Palliative Care Team role, embracing the human spirit of patients with advanced illnesses and multiple physical, psychosocial, spiritual, and religious issues.

Attendees at this conference will learn the principles of Palliative Care and Hospice, state-of-the-art physical, emotional, and spiritual symptom management, effective communication with patients and families at the end of life, and the integration of spiritual care into the Palliative Care practice.
