Chesapeake Life Center invites the community to the 19th annual Emily Schindler Memorial Lecture, “Joyful Palliative Care: A Humanistic Approach to Connecting with Your Seriously Ill Patients,” presented by Delia Chiaramonte, MD, MS. The lecture will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 20, in the Fellowship Hall at Woods Memorial Presbyterian Church, 611 Baltimore Annapolis Blvd., Severna Park, Maryland.
Caring for families facing aging or illness can be both meaningful and stressful, and holding space for other people’s suffering without actively taking care of your own wellbeing can lead to compassion fatigue and burnout. In this session, you will learn how to develop your healing presence, master heart-centered communication, and actively take care of you, so you can fully show up for both your patients and yourself.
This annual lecture was created in 2005 through a gift to the Schindler family from the Saint Agnes Cancer Center. Emily Schindler was an 18-year-old freshman at Frostburg State University and a member of the SPY swim team in Severna Park, Maryland, when she was tragically killed in a car accident in 2004.
Registration begins at 9 a.m. and a light breakfast will be provided. Maryland Board social workers can earn three Category 1 continuing education credits. The cost is $20. Pre-registration is required and can be completed at https://education.hospicechesapeake.org/item/2024-schindler.
