Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County is offering a Community Education and Volunteer Training series starting Wednesday, Sept. 19, and running six consecutive Fridays through Oct. 24. Sessions are set for 6-8 p.m. at 810 S. Albert St., Port Angeles.

The series provides a history and overview of hospice and the philosophy behind Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County; explores attitudes towards death and dying; delves into the grieving process and self-care, and offers training for those interested in volunteering with the organization.

Sessions are open to the public and there is no charge. As space is limited, pre-registration is required by calling 360-452-1511 or emailing to vsm@vhocc.org.
