CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION :
Accompaniment of ill people in loss of their autonomy.
I am so grateful for these face-to-face training days throughout 2020, which were so inspiring for my approach to end-of-life care, but also full of lessons for my everyday lifes🌈✨.
The various speakers were fascinating, and each participant’s contribution was so enriching. I really enjoyed the group dynamics, and some lovely friendships were born😇.
I felt nostalgic when the course came to an end – these monthly meetings were so precious to me💗.
