Community Education
Have you talked with your family and friends about your priorities and wishes? Do you include end-of-life and advance care planning topics in your discussions and sessions with your clients and participants? Discussing our end-of-life priorities and advance care planning wishes can be challenging, but is vital to ensure that our needs, wishes, and priorities are met – and the same with the communities we serve.
Join us for an engaging discussion on how to approach discussing end-of-life and advance care planning, as well as a review of end-of-life care options. Dementia and dementia care and support needs will also be highlighted throughout the session.

Please join the CHLC for our October 2023 session featuring The Illinois ACEs Response Collaborative. This virtual session is from the three-part training series: Moving from Burnout to Wellness for Providers & Advocates. In this training, we'll identify the causes, signs, and effects of burnout in professions such as health care, education, and social services. We'll highlight structural inequities that lead to burnout, define systems-induced distress and moral injury, and examine potential interventions. This promises to be a valuable discussion for CHWs and others in helping professions. How do we balance our own well-being with our desire to serve our community members?
