June Education Session
2025-06-26 17:00 - 18:30 | Ontario
Echoes of Love: How Legacy Work Honours Connection and Creates Meaning
“Being remembered” is a deeply human need that transcends, age, background, and diagnosis. Legacy work at end-of-life is personally unique and creates lasting memories and connections with loved ones. We will explore the healing power of legacy work, not only for patients and families, but for palliative care workers and volunteers as well. Strategies for implementing legacy work will be shared including how to sensitively introduce ideas, tailor them to different abilities and preference, and collaborate with interdisciplinary team members to bring them to life.

Date: Thursday, June 26, 2024
Format: Webinar – Participants can attend via Zoom either individually or as part of a viewing group hosted at either the Erie Shores or Windsor Campus. The Zoom link will be provided upon registration.
Time: Doors open and a light meal is provided at 5:00 pm for the on-site viewing groups
