i did do hospice, and i’m sure they are much the same, at base. holding space for hurting ppl.

when i started the only training i got was the 3 hr intake interview. later they were doing whole day trainings, and a big onboarding process. i’m sure they wont just hand u a phone.

i got so much more out of it than i put into it. i had it pretty easy, cuz i took my therapy dog. drivin and holdin the leash was most of it. i was locked out in the plague. i’d kinda like to get back to it, but that org went under.
now i’m wondering if there’s somewhere in the hood i cd do this work. i have a new dog that’s getting serious training rn. she’d b great.

good luck. do it.
