Volunteers needed for new service Palliative Care services enhance the quality of lj,fe for people who are dying and Wingham and Dis­ trict Hospital will soon be serving this greatly needed ministry to the area. An information night was held Tuesday to answer the public’s questions and concerns about this worthwhile service. Palliative Care goes beyond supporting the dying patient and extends care and assistance to the family and loved ones of that special person. A training course for volunteers will begin September 19 and the Wirigham and Area Palliative Care Services is presently seeking peo­ ple interested in helping terminal patients and their families through this difficult time. The course will run for eight Tuesdays beginning at 7 p.m. and each session will deal with the different aspects of palliative care and methods of meeting the emo­ tional and spiritual needs of the dying, their loved ones and care­ givers. Volunteers will learn what is expected of them and how they can best be of assistance. As volunteers, they are assured of a backup system that is ready and willing to share concerns and offer compassionate advice. Through this course, volunteers can develop the skills needed for this challenging role. They will meet others who share their com­ mitment and concern. They will be matched to clients and support is offered to everyone involved. Though it is the desire of the palliative care services to obtain volunteers as a result of the course, you do not need to be a potential volunteer to attend the training sessions. They will benefit anyone concerned for the terminally-ill patient facing this final struggle. The sessions will include role­ play, group interaction, films and visual displays. The first week will feature an introduction to the service. It talks about ideas on death, expectations and one’s com­ mitment to the dying. It also stresses the importance of confi­ dentiality. , Subsequent weeks educate the listener on physical concerns of the terminally ill patient, his symptoms and pain and comfort measures. One week will feature a panel of community members who each play a part in the process of dying and can assist the patient and those close to him. Family relationships will be ex­ amined and participants will learn to relate to the families after death helping them through the grieving process and recognizing the differ­ ences in dealing with death. Visiting do’s and don’ts will be examined as well as the use of practical ideas through the use of creative healing processes like music, reading and touch. Finally, the volunteer learns to help himself through the process of helping another through a difficult time. He will learn what resources are available for his emotional well-being, so he can deal with loss and move forward to help another in need. The cost of the course is $20 and anyone interested is urged to attend. resumes After a two month summer break the U.C.W. of Duffs United Church resumes their meetings for the fall season. On Wednesday evening a joint meeting of both units will be held at 8 p.m. Topic on Christian Development and World Outreach.
