HACC’s Workforce Healthcare and Massage Therapy Programs

Looking for a meaningful way to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and become more present in your body?
I highly recommend Somatic Mindfulness with Fernando Rojas, LMT, PhD. 🌿
Registration is now open for HACC’s October classes, and this is a wonderful opportunity to explore somatic mindfulness in a supportive, experiential setting.
Not sure what to expect? Take a look at the slideshow to hear directly from past participants about their experiences.

When someone takes the time to share their thoughts about this work, it means a great deal to me. These reflections support my own sense of meaning and purpose, and remind me why I continue to teach and practice this work.

🌿 Become an End-of-Life Specialist
Learn how to be a compassionate presence when people need it most.

Death and dying are experiences every family will face—but few of us are truly prepared for them.

The End-of-Life Specialist Certificate Program gives you the knowledge, practical tools, and confidence to support individuals and families through end-of-life, death, dying, grief, and loss.

This engaging online certificate program takes you beyond traditional coursework. You’ll learn through videos, films, guided exercises, meditations, interviews, handouts, and practical resources designed to help you understand—and compassionately respond to—the realities of end-of-life care.

❤️ What You’ll Gain
A deeper understanding of death, dying, grief, and loss
Practical skills for offering compassionate support
Greater confidence in conversations surrounding end-of-life
Resources you can draw upon when supporting individuals and families
Training that meets and exceeds Medicare hospice volunteer training requirements
A meaningful foundation for those interested in hospice, caregiving, volunteering, or end-of-life support
🎓 Earn Your CEOLS Certificate

Upon successful completion, you’ll receive the Certified End-of-Life Specialist (CEOLS) certificate and designation from LifePath Learners.

Important: CEOLS is an internal certification awarded by LifePath Learners. No national accreditation or oversight body currently oversees end-of-life specialists or end-of-life doulas.

🌱 Is This Course Right for You?

This program may be a meaningful fit if you:

Want to support people and families during the end-of-life journey
Are interested in hospice or palliative care
Volunteer or hope to volunteer with hospice
Work with older adults, caregivers, or families
Are considering becoming an end-of-life doula or specialist
Simply want to be better prepared to help someone you love
✨ Your Journey Starts Here

If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I knew what to say or do when someone is dying,” this course can help you become that compassionate, knowledgeable presence.

🌿 Learn the skills. Build the confidence. Be there when it matters most. https://onlinewfd.hacc.edu/product?catalog=CRN_70727_202790
