Palliative Care in the Context of Behavioral Health and Addiction

In this Master Clinician, Lauran Hardin, MSN, RN-BC, CNL, and Shelly Viva, LCSW, will share practical strategies to help palliative care teams provide compassionate care for patients with complex needs, specifically people with a history of substance use disorders, co-occurring with mental health issues. Participants will learn about core competencies to improve care for this population, understand the stigma and a history of trauma on complex patient presentation, and acquire strategies for building key partnerships for delivery of complex care.
