VERO BEACH, Fla. – (March 18, 2008) – VNA Hospice will host the Hospice Foundation of America’s 15th annual teleconference, “Living with Grief: Children and Adolescents,” on Wednesday, April 16 from 1:30 – 4 p.m. at the Richardson Center on the Indian River Community College Mueller Campus, 6155 College Lane in Vero Beach.
Each year the Hospice Foundation of America presents a nationally recognized distance-learning program, live via satellite and webcast, to more than 125,000 people in 2,000 communities. For more than a decade, this annual educational program has been instrumental in educating health care professionals and families on issues affecting end-of-life care. This year’s teleconference – moderated by Frank Sesno, Professor of Media and Public Affairs at George Washington University and Special Correspondent with CNN – will include a panel of noted authorities who focus on the experience of grieving children and adolescents and the ways that all hospice professionals, educators, counselors, parents, social workers, physicians, grief counselors, funeral directors, parents and clergy can best support these populations as they cope with loss and grief.
The teleconference is free and open to the public. CEU credits are available for a wide range of healthcare professionals. For more information or to reserve a spot, call Lori Hoey at 772.978.5535. For more information about VNA services, call 772.567.5551 or visit www.vnatc.com.
