Liked that they used case studies. Families most certainly get labeled as "difficult" on a regular basis in healthcare & caregivers can become avoidant, so this is an important topic.

I could relate as a family member dealing with the stress associated with caring for my mother in the last four months of her life and dealing with the hassle of overworked SNF staff. This course has helped me in the healing process.As a clinician who is still grieving the recent passing of my mother, I can empathize more with other family members who are dealing with loss and life changing situations.

The presenter did a good job explaining how injury is not an 'individual' occurrence, but a well presented talk on the effects of a medical crisis to the family unit. It's easy to get distracted and goal oriented to achieve outcomes that are constantly being looked at for reimbursement reasons rather than a family's specific needs and overlooking the emotional/medical upheaval that is caused by trauma.

This was a very informative course. I work in acute care and utilize the concept of therapeutic use of self frequent. I also really like the concept of understanding more of the caregiver history and potential trauma previously experienced as consideration of discharge recommendations. I will utilize a lot of this information from this course into my practice in a hospital setting.

This information is critical and relatable for OT's and all therapists working as a team with each other and family members. All families can be difficult at times, depending on the condition of the patient and the variables in the family lives and level of inconvenience or stress on daily family activities. Empathy is so important as it includes the family members in the treatment plan, empowers them and offers them compassion, as well as the patient.
