Great intro for hospice volunteers. Although I found this video made for an individual hospice, the training precept is the same for most all hospice agencies. http://www.videojug.com/interview/how-to-get-involved-with-hospice

Course site

The hospice volunteer training online sites are as listed:

www.volunteertrainingonline.com

www.volunteertrainingonline.com/courses

www.hospice.volunteertrainingonline.com (wordpress blog)

www.hospicevolunteertraining.webs.com

Any of these sites will lead you to the hospice volunteer training program. The course consists of 11 modules following the Medicare Conditions of Participation. As of today, hundreds of people have taken the course and given more than positive feedback.

I hear from people how their listening skills have improved, their willingness to be of service enhanced, and their positive outlook on a search for ways to be of service to those in need.

Agencies contracting with HVTO are given their own individual site and pay only for the volunteers that train for the month that the agency assigns. All it takes to get started as a hospice agency is to request the service agreement which basically states that you agree to pay for the volunteers you assign to train and pay 2 weeks after the end of the billing date (billing is for the month at $10 per person).

Any questions or comments may be sent to:
robin@volunteertrainingonline.com

I look forward to working with anyone who has the heart for service.

Research - Studies About Grief

I am looking for studies and/or research papers on physical symptoms related to grief/loss of a loved one. Please send me the link to any relevant sites or post your personal assessment or experiences.

Hospice and Nursing Homes Blog: Hospice Volunteer Training Ethical Issues

The ethical situations confronting the newly trained volunteer must usually be addressed as they occur. One of the reasons I developed the online training course was to get the educational core presented quickly so that the volunteer could immediately begin acquiring the skills to cope with ethical situations. The following article explains the importance of face to face training as well as continuing education and support: Hospice and Nursing Homes Blog: Hospice Volunteer Training Ethical Issues
