I was fortunate in my search for end of life care training to come across Teaching Transitions - Doing Death Differently, with Patty Burgess!
This was a personal search prompted by the failing health of my Father who has late-stage Alzheimer's.
After spending the past few years surrounded by people who were facing their mortality, I decided to see if there was any actual training for a non- medical model that would allow me to enter into the field of working with the dying and their families.
Two other programs I sampled were not able to give me the depth and breadth of understanding that I felt I needed, until I came across DDD.
This media rich training makes all of the difference when taking an on-line course. I've now learned this distinction!
Patty has put together a most informative, educational, authentic collection of 'people in the industry', with a comprehensive array of topics that relate to Death and Dying.
The videos make all the difference vs. just hearing a voice while watching a blank screen. For me, I need to see real people. This has given me a great sense of community and deepened the learning experience.
I've just joined a Hospice organization and have raved to them about the DDD training, which I feel will help me greatly as I begin my journey with them as a volunteer.
Thank you Patty for the passion and detail you have put into creating this outstanding course.
Warmly,
