Bereavement volunteers are advised by the Bereavement Coordinator and serve as an additional support to the bereavement program, which provides services to grieving families and caregivers during the 13-month period following the death of the hospice patient. Support by the volunteer may include assistance with administrative tasks (such as standard mailings), assistance with a Bereavement Support Group and/or with the annual Memorial Service. These volunteers undergo some additional training beyond the standard volunteer orientation. Volunteers can give as much or as little time as their schedules allow. There is not a set number of hours required. Whether you have a few minutes or several hours to give, this is a great program for you as it can be flexible. Classes/orientation are offered several times throughout the year. You may call the office at 419-843-6106 to inquire about the scheduled training sessions. Training can also be tailored to individual organizations as well as on an individual basis. Southern Care Hospice serves most all of NW Ohio and the Findlay area.
