SUMMARY:February Education Session
DESCRIPTION:Talking About Death Won’t Kill You: The Importance of Communicating Care \nA palliative approach to care invites a different kind of communication\, one grounded in deep listening\, and accompaniment rather than fixing or persuading.  This presentation focuses on how we can support families through emotionally complex conversations\, including expressions of fear\, hope\, guilt\, and uncertainty.  Participants will consider the role of presence and reflect on how compassionate communication can foster trust\, meaning\, and a sense of not being alone at the end of life. \n  \nSpeaker: Dr. Kathy Kortes-Miller\, Associate Professor – School of Social Work\, Director – Centre of Education and Research on Aging & Health (CERAH) Lakehead University \nDate: Wednesday\, February 25\, 2026 \nFormat:   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. \nTime:  Doors open and a light meal is provided at 5:00 pm for the on-site viewing groups \n\nErie Shores Campus (197 Talbot St. W.\, Leamington) – Welcome Centre\nWindsor Campus (6038 Empress St.\, Windsor) – Administrative Building #600\n\nPresentation begins at 5:30 pm \n  \nFor more information\, please contact (519) 974-7100 ext. 2277 or email education@thehospice.ca. \n  \nHospice Education Sessions are generously supported by The Don and Gail Rodzik Education Endowment.
