Course description: This workshop is designed for any family caregiver who wants to learn how to provide gentle touch for a loved one at end of life. The benefits of gentle touch are endless, for both the giver and the receiver. The goal of Gentle Touch is not to “fix” or “heal” the client but instead helps connect the client and the caregiver through cultivating an expression of love and communication through caring presence and touch. Applying Gentle Touch aids in supporting anticipatory grief and subsequent grief after loss, reduce feelings of isolation, improve sleep, provides pain relief and reduces anxiety and fear of death. Often times family members are fearful of touching a dying loved one in fear of hurting them, however when practiced safely, touch is a powerful healing tool that can be easily learned by anyone. No experience is necessary.
