Talking
About What Matters:
Conversation Starter Kit: http://theconversationprojectinboulder.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Starter-Kit_Condensed_TRUTCP.pdf
The Conversation
Project in Boulder County, a TRU Community Care program, provides confidential
coaching and tools for individuals and families who wish to have a conversation
about future medical care. Our mission is to ensure that end-of-life values are
expressed and respected. We encourage thoughtful consideration of your
preferences with regard to medical treatment in the context of your unique
situation. If you need help starting these important conversations or guidance
on documents, The Conversation Project has trained coaches who can speak with
individuals and families by telephone or arrange an online meeting. These
services are free and available on a flexible schedule.
Contact amandameier@trucare.org or (303)
250-4510 to schedule an appointment. If you wish to financially support TRU’s
Conversation Project program, please visit trucare.org/donate and choose
“Conversation Project Donation.”
§ TRU UPDATES
o Stay
tuned for Volunteer Connection Zoom meeting date on TRU Telemedicine - We are working closely with The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and
state and local health officials to respond quickly and effectively to
COVID-19, take action to address potential and confirmed cases, and mitigate
transmission. We have deployed
Tele-Care tablets to patients, hospitals, and facility partners to replace
in-person visits with video visits whenever it makes sense to do so, and we are
offering grief support groups and counseling by phone and video conferencing.
TRU’s pandemic response team meets daily to review updates and determine how to
adapt and innovate to provide the best care for our community. We will continue to provide updates as they become available.
TRU Expands Grief Service TRU
considers it a privilege to provide services for the grieving, which is why we
offer a wide variety of age and loss-specific grief support groups, individual
counseling, and other grief-related resources. And we’ve recently expanded our
services in two critical areas.
Individual Counseling
Formerly available
only to family and friends of patients served by TRU Hospice, we’re now pleased
to offer grief counseling services at an affordable price to members of the
community who are experiencing grief, complicated grief, sudden or traumatic
loss, and youth and family grief issues. Our experienced counselors employ art
therapy, brainspotting, narrative re-creation, and other techniques to help
clients find healing in the wake of loss.
Virtual Grief Groups
Isolation has
increased due to COVID-19, and TRU is responding by providing the grief
services our community has come to depend on in new ways. We’ve moved most
of our support groups to Zoom, a cloud meeting platform, and our individual
grief counseling sessions have also gone virtual. No matter what, we’re here to
support our TRU families and community, and we consider it an honor and
privilege to do so.
o Please visit trucare.org/grief to learn more about our counselors and for more information
about TRU’s grief services.
