Dignity. One simple word that we oftentimes take for granted in our day-to-day lives. As people face difficult transitions and changes at the end of life, there are times when dignity can be sacrificed. In this illuminating presentation, Chris Dorsey, LMSW, will explore what dignity means and how, as helping professionals, dignity therapy can be utilized to ensure patient’s emotional health is not compromised at the end of life. Mr. Dorsey will take participants on a walk of the roots of dignity therapy and how it came to be a therapeutic process, as well as an evidence-based practice. Mr. Dorsey will employ research, real-life experience, and case examples in this interactive experience to assist participants in understanding the application of dignity therapy and walking away with practical tools to use in their everyday practice.
