Community health workers (CHWs) are joined by chaplains, psychologists, and physicians to discuss psychological, spiritual, and socio-behavioral components of patient care and how supportive care serves patients with life limiting illnesses.

Each conversation is a partnership between a CHW and a health care professional. Some topics are presented in English and other conversations are in Spanish. These conversations are intended for educational purposes as resource for CHW educators and individuals. Dialogues range from 25 to 50 minutes.
