Family Support & Coaching
Communication between family members can escalate in a negative way because of stress and feeling overwhelmed. We can facilitate Patient Care Conferences and Family Unity Meetings that will help families make difficult decisions. With more effective communication, reactive stress can be lessened and families are able to make necessary decisions with more harmony. Support and coaching for both the individual and the family group may improve the outcome by focusing energies and attentions on the goal, rather than interpersonal struggles. Family members may desire to provide support, but find themselves unable to cope with the challenge of the current crisis. Coaching patients and family members during this time can bring them closer together; to be able to develop solutions and implement effective approaches. Integrated Care Consultants will provide coaching tools, techniques and support to meet the goal of the patient and assist the family support team to provide the best possible environment.
