EEH Celebrates National Social Workers Month
Social workers are essential to community well-being and play a vital role in the hospice journey. EEH social workers are trained, licensed professionals who improve patients' and families' lives by addressing the social, emotional, and practical challenges of end-of-life.

EEH social worker Adele (on the left) and our clinical team helped celebrate a patient's 100th-year birthday in this featured photo. Social workers encourage patient families to share stories, have heart-to-heart conversations, laugh about old times, talk about the unknown, and take each day as it comes. East End Hospice recognizes that every day is an opportunity to celebrate life.

Social workers support patient families months after the death of a loved one. They provide bereavement counseling and care during the grieving process. They also support anyone in our East End communities seeking grief and bereavement care, including adults, teens and children.

Living with Grief: Trauma & Loss Webinar, Tuesday, April 5
East End Hospice hosts the Hospice Foundation of America's Living with Grief: Trauma and Loss Webinar Tuesday, April 5, 1-3 pm at the Westhampton Presbyterian Church.

This two-hour program focuses on the specific issues raised when losses are sudden and traumatic, shattering the bereaved individual's assumptions that the world is safe, benevolent, or predictable. These deaths can be the result of accidents and disasters, suicides or overdoses; homicide and terrorism; military or service-related deaths; or the unpredictable trajectories of illnesses.

Preregistration is required. Please contact Dina DiFolco at 631.288.8400 or ddifolco@eeh.org to register. CE credits are available through HFA.
