The goal of this workshop is to facilitate helpful conversations and provide resources. This workshop offers:
1) Education about MAID- (in institutions and in the community) and the importance of spiritual care for spiritual patients, facilitating MAID and responding to last wishes.
2) Unique issues that can surface regarding death and/or grief for patients and family members.
3) Resources for those charged with pastoral care within their communities of faith with tools to best serve patients and families.
More about Rev. Kathy Dahmer: Through her work as a former chaplain at Health Sciences North, Rev Kathy Dahmer, a registered psychotherapist, has extensive experience working with patients and families as they navigate MAID. Kathy suggests that often the questions from our heads are coming from a need within our heart, and listens deeply for the language of the heart. She is passionate about mentoring and modelling pastoral care as a non-anxious presence, able to journey into the deepest valleys unafraid.
