Communicating with Compassion

Volunteerism is "in" again, with official endorsements from Colin Powell, President Clinton, and a host of CEOs. Now that people are fired up to serve their fellow citizens, how will they be trained to do so? This tape is a good resource for those who will be volunteering in hospitals and nursing homes as well as those working with hospice patients. Viewers will see actual volunteer visits, and learn some do's and some dramatized don'ts for helping patients. The well-written and carefully organized accompanying Leader Guide will be especially helpful for staff at small non-profit organizations, who frequently have to squeeze volunteer training in around a multitude of other duties. Recommended for hospital, academic, church, and public libraries. Aud: H, C, P. (R. Reagan)
