Thought for the Week: (R.D.) Birds of a feather flock to a newly washed car. Palliative Care support • from page 3 health care team. The service is a com- munity program in which volunteers will work with assigned clients in the client's home or in the hospital. Community Workers Joan Wittig of Wingham is coordinator of Palliative Care Services in Wingham and area. Among her responsibilities are the overseeing of all aspects of the services, selection and training of volunteers, assessing the needs of the clients and assigning volunteers as re- quired, keeping reports, maintaining communication with other health care team members and helping the bereaved's family through the grieving process. Rev. Douglas Whitelaw is chairman of the Palliative Care Committee which in- cludes William Woodley, Director of Pa- tient Care at Wingham and District Hospital and representatives from the hospital chaplaincy, Community Nursing Services, Home Care, Town and Country Homemakers, Canadian Cancer Society and Community Psychiatric Services. Specialists in various areas are con- sultants. The service does not replace the patient's own clergyman nor the hospital chaplaincy, but is designed to complement the work of the pastoral team in ministering to the dying and their families. Volunteers Needed The workers in Palliative Care Ser- vices will be drawn from Wingham and surrounding community. Volunteers are requested to come forward and make a commitment, perhaps a period of one year if their initial reaction is one of ac- ceptance. The committee will provide training for the volunteers and profes- sional health care providers. Beginning in September, courses will be offered periodically and inservice seminars, films and speakers will be ar- ranged to provide ongoing training and meet current needs. Volunteers will A always have a network of support behind them and will be urged to discuss questions, fears and problems with the coordinator and support staff. The volunteer will establish a suppor- tive relationship with client and family, intended to lessen fear and isolation;° respect the routine established by the health care team and relay messages between the patient and ,his family and - or care givers. The volunteer must be flexible in time, in order to just "be there" for the patient and his family and must be will- ing to support the family through bereavement. As in all such situations, absolute confidentiality must be maintained. Funding Required The Palliative Care Services commit- tee has contacted many area organiza- tions, service clubs and churches and many donations have already been received. It is hoped that more money will be received from groups and in- dividuals as the need for this service is emphasized. The committee is also in- vestigating sources of long-term funding to provide funds on a continuing basis. Dying is a process requiring assistance, companionship and support. Dying is an event that asks us to be present for one another with heart, mind and soul, brining not only prac- tical help as necessary, but also awareness and comfort, appreciation of the dying individual as a whole person, a precious child of God. To share that most sacred moment in a person's life is a privilege granted to the palliative care volunteer who will be receiving a great deal, as well as giving much, as the last months and moments of life are made more meaningful for those struggling with illness and death. Palliative Care - a much-needed ser- vice soon to be offered by and for the people of this community. Share in the birth of this caring new ministry.
