Abstract

This book was written to educate individuals diagnosed with a serious medical condition along with their loved ones about the importance of palliative care. The work outlines what palliative care is, provides communication strategies for getting the type of support and care that you want and need (and not just medications), outlines successful coping strategies, and discusses family dynamics, grieving, emotional support, and spirituality. Although palliative care is often associated with hospice and end-of-life planning, the author argues for a more expanded definition that includes improved quality of life at early as well as later stages of the disease process.

Abstract

In his groundbreaking new book, Dr. Kirk Austin explores seven elements that contribute to human buoyancy. Using the acronym BREATHE, the book explores the concepts of Bravery, Resilience, Endurance, Acceptance, Tenacity, Hope, and Excellence.

Written for parents, adult-helpers, and educators, Buoyancy: Building Resilient Kids explores how to help kids build the skills related to human flourishing. The book examines seven stories of real people who exemplified an element of BREATHE. It goes further in providing examples and exercises to build the skills necessary to stay buoyant. It is a helpful and practical addition to any social and emotional learning curriculum." --Back cover
