THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA NEUROPSYCHOLOGY FORUM
is pleased to sponsor the upcoming presentation

Death, Dying, & Grief, with Dr. Michael Drexler

Monday, August 30th

5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Online Webinar: Live and Interactive

Many in the medical profession feel less than adequately prepared when it comes to issues of Death or the process of dying. This past year we have been confronted with this challenging topic due to the unprecedented impact of COVID-19. The workshop will seek to guide NP's and other clinicians on a journey to understand the characteristics of hospice and palliative care, articulate the experiences of death and dying from a neuropsychological viewpoint, review end-of-life options in CA, and address working with this emotionally charged area of practice. If you are a clinician or neuropsychologist you won't want to miss this presentation on an emerging area of practice!
