 Search Identifier: 12640496965 God at the Center: A Retreat to Reduce Compassion Fatigue Among Hospice Workers While this retreat was developed for all staff who work in hospice: office support, aides, nurses, chaplains, physicians, social workers, volunteers,and all others; it can readily be adapted for use with other populations. Our church holds these retreats once a year, pairing hospice workers with Stephen Ministers for reflection and support throughout the day. We conclude with a footwashing service.  Reviews Reviews count: 4 - Average rating: 4.00 I searched out this contribution because I am putting together a womens' retreat, something I have never done before. I appreciated the way the handouts started with identifying "what we will not do." and what the program was designed to do. Very clear and concise. The focus on keeping Sabbath was very nicely set up, good biblical referrants throughout. This program had a nice rhythm of personal reflection and what appears to be designed for group work. The packet utilizes Hazelden's work which I have worked with before and find very accessible for a wide range of people. The packet also uses some Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy tools but talks about thoughts that disturb one's soul, an approach I am not sure Albert Ellis would find congruent. One of the things I appreciated about this packet was how you might be able to pull out various sections for uses other than working with hospice volunteers. Overall a very well written and easily accessible contribution.
