Last Aid Course in Gilching: Knowledge that offers closeness and security
When a person becomes seriously ill or is accompanied at the end of life, insecurity and helplessness often arise. The Last Aid Course offered by vhs Gilching imparts basic knowledge for relatives, friends, and interested individuals from the neighborhood on November 16, 2026. The central message is that accompanying someone in dying is possible not only in professional facilities but also in personal surroundings.
An event experience with humanity and orientation
In the calm atmosphere of vhs Gilching, the course creates space for understandable information, personal questions, and open exchange. The event combines professional guidance with a compassionate approach. Instead of amplifying feelings of discomfort, it encourages participants to engage with seriously ill and dying people attentively and respectfully.
Four central themes for accompaniment at the end of life
The content is focused on the fundamental topics of Last Aid: dying as a part of life, planning and decision-making, alleviating physical, psychological, social, and existential distress, as well as saying goodbye to life. Additionally, simple gestures and options for support are taught.
Professional guidance from experienced course leaders
Beate Peters-Dürrschmidt, a palliative care specialist from Malteser Hospizdienste, and Ina Weichel will lead the afternoon. Their experience from hospice work and palliative care provides a solid foundation for event planning and targeted communication with the audience. The course format is aimed at all interested parties and requires no special prior knowledge.
Practical information for participation
The course takes place on Monday, November 16, 2026, from 2:30 PM to 6:30 PM in Room 106 of vhs Gilching. The participation fee is 6 euros. Registration at vhs Gilching is necessary. The office and professional counseling of the Volkshochschule are available for organization.
Conclusion: An afternoon that encourages
The Last Aid Course does not provide ready-made answers for every life situation but strengthens the ability to act humanely, informed, and sensitively in difficult moments. Those who want to accompany relatives or close people at the end of life will experience a compact and practice-oriented course in Gilching with professional guidance and plenty of space for humanity.
