    Supporting a Loved One at End of Life (Summer)

    This class will cover caregiving skills including creating a care network, self care, advanced care planning (it will cover suggestions and resources for planning, it will not include an advanced care planning process itself), physical changes at end of life, and engaging supportive professionals. Students will be invited to think about and consider these topics so that when they are called upon to care for a loved one, they will have already digested this information. This will benefit students with family members with a loved one who has a life limiting diagnosis (ALS, dementia, Parkinson's, etc) or who are simply aging. This class will cover what to expect for loved ones who engage in advanced care planning and for loved ones who avoid planning ahead. Students will be given a copy of "When Death is Near" and "Hard Choices for Loving People" to keep as a reference for later use and to use during class.
