Hospice Foundation of America's 15th annual teleconference will be broadcast from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Wed., April 16 at the Camarillo Library, 1401 Las Posas Road.

This year's teleconference focuses on children and adolescents and will examine the experience of grieving children and adolescents and the ways that hospice professionals, educators, parents and others can best support them as they cope with loss and grief.

A panel of ethicists, educators and hospice experts will discuss the experience of grieving children and adolescents. The panel moderator will be Frank Sesno, professor of media and public affairs at George Washington University and special correspondent with CNN.
