Brattleboro Area Hospice will offer its Fall Volunteer Training on Thursdays beginning September 12th and continuing until November 21st, 2013. The trainings run from 1pm until 4 pm and are held at BAH, 191 Canal Street, Brattleboro.
Hospice Volunteers help and support neighbors and their families who are living with life-threatening illnesses throughout Windham County. Help may range from errands and gardening to emotional and physical support. Our volunteers report the work is challenging and very rewarding. Training topics include Hospice philosophy, nuts and bolts of volunteering, ethical issues, personal attitudes toward death and dying, and grief issues among others. Presenters include professionals from the community as well as Hospice staff and volunteers.
