Introduction to Mindfulness Informed End of Life Care
Description
This course introduces mindfulness and mindfulness meditation within the context of thanatology or the study of dying and death. You will learn how to use mindfulness and mindfulness meditation to attend to the suffering of all involved in care, including: a person who is chronically or seriously ill or dying, his or her family members, inter-professional teams, and those in organizational leadership roles overseeing service delivery. You will be introduced to the conceptual framework for Mindfulness Informed End of Life Care (MIEOL) and the language used by practitioners. Foundational levels of mindfulness and mindfulness meditation will be taught so that practitioners can begin to integrate applications of mindfulness into their own lives as well as the care of others, after this first workshop.
