The Course is available on our E-Learning Portal and includes an optional hard copy Resource Booklet, on-line quizzes and certificates of completion for the topics included in the Course.
The Course is also available with on-line access only - no student book.
Topics include:
Welcome
Mission
History
Confidentiality/HIPAA
Volunteer Information as related to non-patient contact roles
On-Line Course + Resource Booklet
Approximately 81 minutes viewing time + On-line Quizzes & short answer Reflection Questions.
** All E-Learning Credits expire one year from time of purchase.
Coordinators are expected to follow up with the new volunteer to insure they understand the concepts, as well as discuss and present any additional information to meet their standards.
Bereavement Care for Hospice Volunteers - Leader's Guide
Hospice Volunteers wishing to work with Bereavement Teams require additional training beyond New Volunteer Orientation.
Our E-Learning Course can provide the foundational information needed prior to your follow-up learning experiences - preparing them to serve with your Hospice’s Bereavement Team.
This Course is available On-Line with integrated Competencies and a printable Certificate of Completion.
The Leader's Guide is a hard copy resource of the Course content and should be kept in the hospice office as a reference and resource when meeting with students who have completed the Course on-line.
Because persons who train for bereavement work are already active volunteers, there is no separate student Booklet. Students are able to download a Course Resource/Outline on-line and will be able to download a Certificate of Completion.
** All E-Learning Credits expire one year from time of purchase.
In-Services are available on our E-Learning Portal. Hospices may purchase access for any number of students and may select from all available Courses.

READY - One approach to allowing volunteers to begin their training with independent study:
As soon as someone expresses an interest in becoming a hospice volunteer, you are ready! No more hoping that the volunteer will wait for the next set of training classes if you allow volunteers to begin their training through independent study using our learning system.
SET
Set the volunteer up with the On-Line Access and their hard copy resource to begin their personalized volunteer training program. Or, some people may wish to read the full text Manual. Keep in touch by phone, e-mail or face to face visits. File their competency quizzes and reflections. Meet with the volunteer individually or in small groups to cover your hospice’s history, record keeping and other specialized information. Build upon the core information covered in the DVD or on-line training to meet your standards and use the face to face time to build relationships, motivate, discuss, role play and develop that all important sense of belonging.
GO
Once the volunteer has finished the independent study program and any additional requirements to meet your particular standards, complete the final interview process. Give them their first assignment and they are ready to GO!
