The Peaceful Presence Project is a nonprofit which provides non-medical, thoughtful support to individuals and families facing serious and terminal illness. Their work is founded on the Compassionate Community model of care. This public health approach to palliative care believes that we all have a part to play in supporting our neighbors, family and friends in the last stage of life. They offer education to improve death and grief literacy, holistic and proactive planning for advanced illness care and compassionate bedside presence. Here are two great opportunities to support this work.
PAID INTERNSHIP – Community Connector Program – Internship Opportunity with scholarships and stipend provided. Click here for the information flyer
The Community Connector Program for Serious Illness Care will address social isolation and loneliness among residents living with or supporting someone with chronic or serious illness.
The model promotes spaces where trained Traditional Health Workers (THWs) and the community offer compassionate support, help individuals identify their strengths, and assist in connecting them to available resources.
By expanding their social circle and nurturing meaningful relationships, the project strives to improve both the quality of life and health outcomes for its participants. The application process will begin on August 12th and will stay open until applicants are selected.
