As a professional, helping your client manage the euthanasia and grieving process is always going to be part of your role. These interactions are pivotal in maintaining a long-term client bond and it’s important to maintain awareness not only of your own speech and actions, but also those of the grieving client. Knowing how to appropriately communicate with clients during the euthanasia process can be difficult, but this module will equip you with the skills needed to navigate these conversations, while protecting yourself from compassion fatigue.
Upon successful completion of module, participants should be able to:
- Utilise a structured process for delivering bad news to clients
- Recognise signs of compassion fatigue in self and others
- Implement personal and team care strategies to minimise stress and compassion fatigue impacts
