It Takes a Village: Engaging your Local Community through International Outreach

Saturday, March 31, 2012: 11:45 AM-12:45 PM
National Harbor 5 (Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center)
Primary Presenter:
Robin Stocksdale, MSW, LCSW-C, CT
Co-Presenter:
R. Wayne Barth
Area of Emphasis: Access, Community Engagement and Marketing
Learning Objectives:
1. Describe the importance of partnership in promoting compassionate care in Africa
2. Describe the benefits of partnership to their hospice
3. Identify strategies for enhanced outreach by engaging the community in support of the African hospice partner
4. Implement creative strategies for raising funds to support the African partner

In difficult economic times, we tend to turn inward, focusing on the very real needs of our own country. But we know, as compassionate hospice caregivers, that we cannot ignore the suffering of others who live the developing countries of Africa. Beyond meeting the moral imperative of helping those most in need, a FHSSA partnership with an African hospice offers many benefits, distinguishing us within our communities. Join us to learn how to promote collaboration within your organization and open new doors for outreach while addressing the needs of our vulnerable African neighbors.
