Empowering Change

Family Systems Dynamics in End-Of-Life Care

This session will examine the family's experience in end-of-life care. A family systems perspective will be used to define ways of assessing, intervening and empowering the family to change, adapt and accommodate both to the losses and to the opportunities for growth in this process.


Objectives

  • Be able to describe the ways of assessing family dynamics from a strengths perspective regarding end-of-life care issues.
  • Identify the opportunities for empowering and coaching the family to provide a legacy for the family system.
  • Demonstrate a working knowledge of the impact of the care giving role and its differential impact on the family when the process of dying is prolonged.
