Diapason offers palliative care and support training

This training, based on the Quebec Albatross Movement program, is aimed at the general public, future volunteers, healthcare professionals and anyone interested in the subject or who wishes to be there for a loved one.

The program aims to help potential and current caregivers explore their perceptions and emotions about life, suffering and death; gain specific knowledge about the needs of people at the end-of-life, to develop relationship skills; and acquire skills in end-of-life care;
