The Parkes Palliative Care Volunteer Service and Palliative Care NSW would like to welcome participants to join with them under the Umbrella of Palliative Care.

The day provides an opportunity to reflect on the important work volunteers and health professionals do, and on how to maintain perspective in their work. Being with clients on the End-of-Life Journey and aiming to provide social support means giving of ourselves.

Self-reflection is required to continue to support and care. The day will be interactive and engage volunteers and health professionals in practical activities that promote reflection and growth in their role. We will explore the challenges that lead to compassion fatigue and how to move from this fatigue and vicarious trauma to strengthen and grow.

Volunteers and health professionals will have an opportunity to develop actions for a self-care plan and practice self-compassion. This will clarify where they stand under the Umbrella of Palliative Care and how to get the best support and shelter.
