At the King Hussein Cancer Center in Jordan, we have
been working since 2000 to implement palliative care for patients
with cancer. We have been taught using materials from
the EPEC Project, the ELNEC Project, and onsite teaching by
teams of physicians and nurses from the United States as
well as training at San Diego Hospice and the Institute for
Palliative Medicine.
As part of our implementation, an important question
arose. How do we apply what we learned in palliative care
in harmony with our culture?

Women's Health OT: Role-Emerging or Paradigm Shift?Melissa LaPointe
A 20-min online presentation for the 6th annual OT4OT 24-hour Virtual Exchange (live recording can be found at http://www.ot4ot.com/ot24vx.html).
We are witnessing a global movement in women's health from a focus on illness and pathology toward one that supports health and well-being. Yet the female-dominated OT profession continues to sit on the sidelines both in the public and private sectors. Join Melissa LaPointe as we discuss the steps needed in enhancing our profession's life flow, empowering more OTs to step forward as leaders and educators during this exciting paradigm shift.
Depression is a mood disorder with symptoms that can range from mild to life-threatening. It's a complicated disorder because it can negatively impact so many aspects of a person's life, from physical health and job performance to parenting and personal relationships. People who are depressed feel helpless and hopeless that life will never improve.
During our chapter reading group facilitation, my partner and I prepared an hour long presentation on the topic End of Life and Palliative Care. The basis of the presentation was from the weekly assigned chapters in our class textbook. We were required to present an engaging lecture, presentation, and/or hands-on activity for the class.

It is a normal process, not a psychiatric disorder. Everyone moves through grief at their won pace and in their own way, It's a lifelong process.
Seek help from a qualified therapist if you feel stuck in your grief, you don't want to burden your close friends with your grief, or you want to provide active support to someone who is grieving.
