By emphasizing empathy, cultural awareness, and emotional well-being, the initiative aims to improve patient outcomes, strengthen caregiver support, and foster a more compassionate and holistic care environment.
How we Help
Palliative & Hospice Care Program
Peace of Mind Organization (POM) aims to strengthen psycho-social support within hospice and palliative care systems by enhancing services for patients, families, and care providers through targeted assessments, therapy, peer support, training, and policy engagement.
Our Approach
✨ Multi-dimensional Care Approach
Palliative and hospice care plays a vital role in managing the multi-dimensional needs of individuals with life-limiting illnesses. While physical and clinical health needs are often prioritized, the psycho-social and emotional aspects of care remain significantly under-addressed.
🤝 Comprehensive Service Integration
POM provides enhanced psycho-social engagement for terminally ill patients, their families, and caregivers. This includes facility-based services, home-based care, and informal caregiving—especially for those living with chronic or terminal illnesses.
🌍 Cultural Context and Sustainability
Our approach integrates psycho-social support in a culturally sensitive and sustainable manner, ensuring that emotional and social well-being are addressed alongside physical care in both hospice and palliative care environments.
How We Support You
