Hello-
Has anyone incorporated a volunteer massage therapist that specializes in grief into their grief programs? This would be for available for the bereaved clients active in the bereavement program, not for patients/ families during hospice care. If so, I would love to hear if it was a volunteer or contract and what type of offerings they offered (retreat, office hours, home visits). Also, what type of paperwork, consents would be needed. I am more familiar with this complimentary therapy offered for grief retreats and during hospice, but not too sure about best practice for a grief center setting for the bereavement, some of which would be families and the rest would be community. Any and all thoughts welcome.
Thanks,
