This workshop ' Identification and first aid for life questions' is given by Gerben Hoogterp of the Center for Life Questions in the Rijver, Nienhuis Ruyskade 26, Muidenberg. The training is intended for volunteers in Het Gooi, who work in care and welfare.

Background

As a volunteer you come to people's homes. You will hear their story, questions and concerns. People tell you about everyday life, but also about illness, loneliness, family contacts and their life history. You see emotions such as sadness, anger and joy. Sometimes not much may be said, but you will notice anxiety or insomnia.

Life questions can be hidden in all those different signals from patients or clients. They are questions about what people really care about in their lives and what is at stake. It is about the spiritual dimension of care, which is also referred to by the term meaning .

What are you learning?

In this workshop you will receive information and tools to identify life questions. How do you recognize them? How do you pay attention to what really matters? We explore what you can do yourself and when referral to a consultant on life questions (spiritual counselor) or other professional is necessary.
