Kokua Mau Webinar: Social Worker & Chaplain Series: Our Role in Staff Burnout, Job Satisfaction & Personal Loss

Dec. 10, 10 am - 11:30 am

More information

Caregiver burnout and job satisfaction are constant concerns in hospice, and COVID-19 has intensified the situation. Fortunately social workers and chaplains can legally and ethically provide support and counseling to co-workers and volunteers. Learn how!

AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:

  • Define organization-sanctioned staff/volunteer support

  • Discuss the importance of personal/professional boundaries

  • Explain the relationship between “feeling supported” and job satisfaction and retention

  • Identify the limitations of offering counseling to staff/volunteers

  • Describe three methods where support can be provided effectively

WEBINAR DETAILS

Providing counseling and support to people in need is what social workers and chaplains do for a living, right? Shouldn’t that include co-workers and volunteers? The answer is both “yes” and “no,” because of legal and ethical challenges. This webinar will explore options for providing support to both staff and volunteers. Hospice work can be stressful and depleting, especially during end-of-life care – and the COVID-19 health crisis has intensified it. Many people are experiencing “COVID fatigue” on top of normal job stressors and caregiver burnout. Learn how social workers and chaplains can assist in ways that are legal, ethical, and reasonable.

Attendance certificate provided to self-report CE credits.
