Overview
Dignity is defined by Webster’s Dictionary as meaning “the quality or state of being worthy of honor and respect.” However, what does
it mean to provide “Dignity in Care” to our clients and patients? As helping professionals, we strive to provide dignity in all that we do – but have we ever really stopped to think “what does dignity mean to me?” AND “what does it mean to each of my clients and patients?” These are powerful questions that beg exploration. In this cutting-edge training, we will be exploring dignity from many different perspectives led by Harvey Max Chochinov, MD, PhD, FRCPC, internationally recognized psychiatrist and founder of Dignity Therapy. Dr. Chochinov will be joined by Chris Dorsey, MBA, LMSW, who used Dignity Therapy and documented it in his social work internship. We will be exploring different aspects of dignity such as “eliciting personhood”, The Patient Dignity Question, The ABCDs of Dignity Care, and the Patient Dignity Inventory. While some of our discussions will focus on dignity in end-of-life care, you will see how to incorporate dignity in your day-to-day practice areas across the board – leaving with practical tools in your toolbox to implement immediately. Don’t miss this day of exploration, reflection, and interaction as a gift to yourself – one that you will not forget!

By Attending Our Workshop, You Will Be Able To:

• Reflect and explore what dignity means to you.
• State 2 aspects of the ABCDs of Dignity Care.
• Define the Model of Dignity and the Patient Dignity Inventory.
• Identify the Patient Dignity Question and participate in an interactive activity around this.
• Identify how to put the Patient Dignity Question into practice.
