Compassionate Care Course

The Compassionate Care Course is designed for anyone preparing to support individuals that are living with a life-limiting illness and those who are supporting someone grieving. Intended as training for Palliative Manitoba volunteers, registration is open to the public as space allows.

Registration is now open for the Fall Session beginning October 9, 2025.

Individuals who wish to volunteer for Palliative Manitoba must first complete an application and be interviewed before registering for the course.


Offered twice yearly, in spring and fall, the course takes place one weekday evening for eight consecutive weeks. Students are required to attend all classes to receive a certificate. Two additional classes are added for those intending to volunteer with the organization.

Each class covers a different topic and are led by trained speakers that work in their field of specialty.
