INTRODUCTION Spirituality and religiosity are recognized as factors that contribute to the quality of life and coping strategies in many persons facing life-threatening illnesses. These life-threatening events can also give rise to spiritual distress. When combined with chronic or acute pain and other physical and psychological symptoms, spiritual distress can be a component of a patient’s total suffering. The Palliative Care Team (The Collective Soul) seeks to alleviate, enhancing the human spirit and creating a healing environment in the middle of the distressful situation. The purpose of this course is to provide a better understanding of the Palliative Care Team’s role in enhancing the Human spirit and relieving patient’s bio-psychosocial and spiritual suffering.

EVENT FOCUS The purpose of this virtual educational event is to provide community-based, hospital, chaplains, ministers and other interested healthcare professionals with skills for a better understanding of the Palliative Care Team role; embracing the human spirit of patients with advanced illness, multiple physical, psychosocial, spiritual, and religious issues.

Attendees at this conference will learn the principles of Palliative and Hospice Care, state-of-the-art physical, emotional, and spiritual symptom management. Learners will possess skills for effective communication with patients and families at the end-of-life.
