"Learn to exchange judging for exploring, being right for being real, anxiety for excitement, and limitations for possibilities. " ~ Virginia Satir

Change Journey: Facing Terminal Illness follows the story of one patient, Debbie Ellington, as she experiences enormous and painful life changes from the time she learns of her diagnosis of terminal cancer, through the progression of her illness, and right up until her death. Debbie's journey demonstrates the stages of a universal change process first described by renowned family therapist, Virginia Satir. This film portrays her journey through these stages, underscoring the invaluable role of the Hospice staff and volunteers who support her and walk with her through the final stage of life.

While Debbie's story is one of terminal illness and death, the path she takes through the stages of the universal change process is the same path any of us might take when confronted by other life-changing events.

This training film and companion guide will be particularly relevant to social workers, counselors, physicians, nurses, clergy and spiritual directors working with patients like Debbie who are facing terminal illness in Hospice or other clinical settings. But any member of the helping professions will benefit from a better understanding of the Satir Change process, the needs of individuals in major life transitions, and the interventions possible at every stage--for the patient, his/her family, or the caregivers themselves.

Appreciation for Change Journey: "I wholeheartedly recommend Change Journey: Facing Terminal Illness. In my 22 years as a hospice executive I have come across very few pieces that are as moving and as well filmed. Even more, it beautifully illustrates the value and relevance of the Satir model in helping patients transform the challenge of a terminal illness into an opportunity for personal growth."

Free downloadable companion study guide for Change Journey is available upon purchase.
