And one for Carers. A sensitive topic- Palliative Care
When I asked people who care about someone with MS about the topics they would like to have Carers VIC lead sessions on, this was one of the topics most asked for.

I guess we all face end of life decisions for a whole variety of reasons. And maybe there is someone else in our family or network that this applies to.
Carers Vic will be hosting the program, Caring till the end, Unmasking Palliative Care
This workshop takes a sensitive look at end of life and palliative care from the carer’s or support person’s perspective. Knowing what to expect and things you might need to consider can help to reduce anxiety when end of life approaches. Most carers and support persons benefit from the opportunity to talk openly about what is often a closed subject. Sharing with others can help maximise quality of life at the end of life.
On Wednesday 14th September, 2011
From 2.00pm – 4.00pm
At The MS Centre,
398 Barkly Street
