Spirituality and End-of-Life Care Conference




Join us for an enlightening and engaging discussion exploring the topic of "Spirituality and End of Life Care" and featuring two panels of renowned professionals from the clergy, health and human service sectors on Wednesday, April 13, 2011 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at California State University, Monterey Bay. Space is limited; Reservations required to 831-333-9023. Admission by April 8 is $35 and includes lunch; $40 after April 8. More info: http://www.hospicegiving.org

Panelists will discuss and explore the emotional, practical, spiritual and health concerns that emerge throughout a serious illness and at the end-of-life. They will define spirituality as different from religion, and evaluate approaches to end-of-life reminiscence, life review, and dignity enhancement. They will describe successful approaches to helping people utilize and enhance their coping capabilities through various spiritual practices, rituals, beliefs, and within various faith communities.

Ten local non-profit providers will have displays and representatives on hand to answer questions about their services. All are Hospice Foundation grant recipients.
See you there!
