We have always seen education as part of our commitment to the community at large. Over the many years that we've been providing services to residents on the South Shore we have become acutely aware of the critical need for good information about resources, management of certain types of problems such as dementia care and help for families who are struggling with the sometimes extreme stress of caring for a family member.
We have always seen education as part of our commitment to the community at large. Over the many years that we've been providing services to residents on the South Shore we have become acutely aware of the critical need for good information about resources, management of certain types of problems such as dementia care and help for families who are struggling with the sometimes extreme stress of caring for a family member.
One of the things
that makes Visiting Angels different, is our deep professional roots in human
services. We have worked in inpatient hospital settings, transitional care
units, nursing homes, outpatient practices, and provided teaching to graduate
and undergraduate students and at National and International conferences. Because
our Co-founders and Director are all licensed clinical professionals with collectively over 100 years of clinical, rehabilitation, social work, and
teaching we've brought our expertise to as wide an audience in the community as
possible.
To accomplish this we created an education series several years ago.
The topics we can cover are wide-ranging and include things like “You’re
discharging him today?!?” which focuses on dealing with the chaos presented
when somebody is discharged from a hospital facility. Another popular topic is “How
to maintain memory and brain health”; “I didn't know there was help out there” provides consumers with resources to help them in family care-giving that they
may not have known about. We have
several others and can customize presentations for different
organizations.
We offer this as a FREE service to nonprofit organizations serving the public.
