From 2022 to 2025, the Palliative Institute was a hub partner with the Palliative Care ECHO Project led by Pallium Canada. This national initiative offered free online programs to share innovations and best practices in palliative care. That philosophy continues through the virtual learning sessions offered by the Palliative Institute.

This community of practice seeks to develop the clinical and self-care skills of professionals providing psychosocial-spiritual care to palliative patients, families and the bereaved in Alberta.
WebinarIn palliative and grief care, there is often a component of suffering that we cannot “fix” or “take away”. Instead, as psychosocial-spiritual professionals we are called to companion and support, foster coping, processing, treatment, and sometimes healing. This COP seeks to develop the clinical and self-care skills of professionals providing psychosocial-spiritual care to palliative patients, families and the bereaved in Alberta. Developed with Alberta content, this series is open to social workers, spiritual care providers, creative arts therapists, occupational therapists, Indigenous liaisons, counsellors, psychologists, nurses and other clinicians providing emotional and spiritual support.
Developed with Alberta content, the Psychosocial-Spiritual Alberta Series explores topics relevant to emotional, spiritual, and grief support in palliative care and bereavement as well as self-care for clinicians.
