In-Home Volunteer Training

For the past 40 years, Hospice SLO County has depended on the generosity and time of volunteers who have offered their voice for kindness, listen with ears of compassion, and open their hearts with love.

Our free comprehensive 30-hour In-Home Volunteer Training will begin on Wednesday, April 25, 2018. Classes will be held for 6 consecutive Wednesdays from 9:30-2:30 at the Hospice SLO County office.

Topics include:

  • Exploring personal attitudes about dying and death
  • The history of hospice and current medical and non-medical approaches to end of life care
  • Communication skills
  • Spiritual, practical and emotional support needs of clients and families including family dynamics
  • Anticipatory grief and bereavement
Preregistration is required. Training is free to attend.

Each participant receives a comprehensive training manual. This training is a pre-requisite for other trainings offered by Hospice SLO County including: End-of-Life Doula, Grief Companions and Community Response.
