Veterans Needed!

Are you a Veteran?

Are you interested in supporting fellow Veterans nearing the end of Life?

WE NEED YOU!

Veteran Volunteers are vital members of the Hospice Team. Hospice of St. Lawrence Valley is seeking Veterans to help us in supporting the many veteran patients and families we serve through the We Honor Veterans program.

What is We Honor Veterans?

WHV is a partnership between the National Hospice & Palliative Care Organization and the Veteran’s Administration designed to empower hospice staff and volunteers with the skills and tools needed to meet the unique needs of dying Veterans.

Hospice St. Lawrence Valley is one of only a handful of non-profit hospices in New York state with an official Level 4 partner rating of the We Honor Veterans program.

As a Level 4 Partner of the We Honor Veterans initiative, Hospice SLV has invested in learning how to properly serve Veterans and assist them through the challenges they may be facing at the end of life — whether it be from illness, isolation or traumatic life experience. By understanding their needs, we can effectively accompany and guide America’s Veterans, and their families, toward a more peaceful ending.

For more information, contact our We Honor Veterans program manager, Samantha Jones at (315) 265-3105 or samj@hospiceslv.org .

New Workshop: Self-Care for the Sandwich Generation

sand·wich gen·er·a·tion (noun) :

A generation of people, typically in their 30’s—50’s responsible for bringing up their own children while caring for their aging parents.

They are named so because they are effectively “sandwiched” between the obligation to care for their aging parents (who may be ill, unable to perform various tasks or in need of financial support) and children, who require financial, physical & emotional support.

Hospice of St. Lawrence Valley is offering a free workshop to learn about self-care techniques and resources so you have the energy for those you love.

Please join us on Wednesday, October 30th from 5:30-7:00 p.m. here at the Hospice Center. A light meal will be served.

Registration in advance is requested. Register by contacting Samantha Jones at (315) 265-3105 or samj@hospiceslv.org.

New Evening Workshop Series

Hospice of St. Lawrence Valley’s Autumn Workshop Series

Hospice of St. Lawrence Valley will be hosting three new workshops in October aimed at helping those in mid-life and beyond.

The workshops will feature topics on end of life planning, maintaining resiliency through life changes and self-care skills. They will be held on alternating Wednesday evenings throughout the month of October:

October 2^nd – First Steps for End of Life Planning – “this workshop will walk participants through the basics of starting an end of life plan and is intended for those who have not yet begun their end of life planning.”

October 16^th – Finding Meaning at Mid-Life and Beyond – “as we move through different stages of life we often struggle with our identity. Whether it be empty-nests, retirement or relocation, changes to our identity can come with grief and confusion. This workshop is intended to help individuals normalize the grief that comes with identity loss and offer tips on resiliency.”

October 30^th – Self-Care for the Sandwich Generation – “The Sandwich Generation is a generation of people (usually in their 40’s to 70’s) who care for their aging parents while supporting their own children. Those in this unique role may feel stressed and overwhelmed at times; this workshop will offer a calming space to learn about self-care techniques and resources.”

All workshops will take place from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. at the Hospice Center located on Route 11 between Potsdam and Canton. Light refreshments will be available.

Admission is free; however, pre-registration is required. Interested individuals can register by contacting Samantha Jones at (315) 265-3105 or samj@hospiceslv.org.
