Bereavement management for Auxiliaires de Vie Sociale
Auxiliaires de vie sociale/home helps work with vulnerable people, sometimes at the end of their lives. Their mission can then take on a form for which these professionals are not necessarily prepared.
What are the right words to use when accompanying a person at the end of life and their loved ones? What professional attitude is most appropriate in this case, and in the event of the person’s death? What actions can be put in place to best support all those involved? What attitude should be adopted in the event of the death of a person who has been cared for for months? These are just some of the questions that will be addressed during this training course.
In the homecare and social auxiliary professions, death, end-of-life support and bereavement are frequently encountered. Each situation is unique, but the relational and psychological implications are significant and can lead to situations that are sometimes complicated for these professionals.
It’s important for these professionals to be in the right place in terms of their positioning and reactions, and to know what actions can be taken to reassure them in their professional practice.
These professionals are constantly attentive to the needs and expectations of the people they help, as well as their families, but it is also important that they remain aware of their own needs and their own limits, in order to protect them psychologically.
