This video will help empower patients by explaining 'goals of care' and the importance of developing these goals for one's palliative care treatment. It will teach patients and caregivers the role of family meetings and the importance of open and honest communication and taking into account one's values, wishes, and beliefs in palliative care.
This video will teach caregivers that caring for a loved one with a serious illness can put their own emotional health at risk and will explain how to manage the stress that can result and the emotional toll caregiving can take.
