7th Annual Pediatric Palliative Care Symposium

The Place and Power of Stories in Palliative Care

Friday, November 19, 2021 | 10 am: Live Q&A, 11 am: Breakout Discussions

Stories evoke stories! To elicit and invite stories from families and caregivers in a pediatric palliative care and hospice setting can be empowering and informative for all involved.
For this symposium, participants will explore the power of stories and the multiple ways in which stories can be voiced. Memoirs, poetry, music and lyrics, blogs, interviews, photos, videos, letter writing and other creative expressions are some of the ways important voices can be heard to inform care of self and others in palliative care.

It is hoped by the conclusion of the symposium participants will have gained more clarity about how and what they can do to elicit and invite the wisdom from the stories of others.

At the end of this symposium, participants will:

  1. Acquire knowledge of the use and effects of stories in enhancing expression, coping, and self-care for those experiencing or having experienced the illness and/or loss of a child.
  2. Identify the various means through which stories can be expressed, i.e., narrative, poetry, music, blogs, interviews, letter writing, and so forth.
  3. Acquire knowledge of ways to elicit and invite stories of others.
