Session One:
Leadership Strategies to Promote the Well-Being of Palliative Care Professionals
Wednesday, October 1, 2025
2:00 – 3:00 p.m. ET
Who should attend: Leadership, practitioners, social workers, RNs, chaplains.
In Catholic health care organizations across the country, palliative care programs are in high demand. Consult volumes have risen in recent years, while in many cases program staffing has not grown accordingly. The work is naturally stressful, and this puts palliative care professionals at risk for overwork and increased distress.
In this webinar, join CAPC’s Stacie Sinclair, MPP, Associate Director, Policy and Care Transformation, and Victoria Leff, MSW, LCSW, APHSW-C, Palliative Care Consultant and Adjunct Instructor, UNC School of Social Work, Chapel Hill, for a discussion on leadership strategies and program design ideas that safeguard care quality and health professional well-being—while ensuring that palliative care reaches the patients who need it most.
