Detailed Schedule

Through the continuing, generous support of the Todd B. Miller Foundation,
we are again offering a three-day institute.
This learning event will bring together renowned specialists who will address the needs of the bereaved, the dying, their spiritual leaders, and the communities that support them.
They include members of the hospice and end-of-life care movements and faith communities.

Attendance is limited to 60 to provide a more intimate and supportive environment. The program is offered to social workers, counselors, clergy/chaplains, nurses, physicians, and other providers who work with the dying and bereaved.

Registration fee for this 3-day event is $250.00 which will include lunches and continental breakfast. Scholarships will be offered for GW End-of-Life-Care students and alumni.

Day One
The first day of the institute is open only to participants who are registered for the entire event. This day will include an address by Acting Surgeon General RAD Kenneth Moritsugu and will be followed by sessions on grief work, complicated grief, and the importance of listening to the personal narratives of both our clients and ourselves. The last session will be an open discussion on how we came to do the work we were called to do and how we derive meaning from our work. The day will conclude with a social hour with light hors d’oeuvres.
Lunch is included.
Dinner on your own.

Day Two
The second day will offer a series of concurrent sessions covering a range of topics,
offering insights and information into the many dimensions of care
