"The entire (trauma-informed care) presentation had me captivated. Rami was an excellent presenter, and I could have listened to him all day. These concepts are so important. This was great!"

2023 Participant

"The whole (caregiver trust) session was very beneficial. The ideas on how to approach families and support them through the process were very good."

2023 Participant

"I appreciated the breakout rooms. I thought it was very helpful to role play and develop a person palliative care plan. The discussion when everyone returned to the main room was very animated and pushed the envelope on how to think outside the box when approaching palliative care in LTC."
