What happened to the previous website?
All the history, background, and benefit project information about Border Mountain is now located at it's home website www.bordermountain.org (History, Mission, Bipolar Awareness, Feature Film Projects, Charitable donations, and Camp David project). This site (bordermountain.com) contains all the new modular training program and seminar information and the on-line ordering information for all Border Mountain training and hospice/grief resources.

How is the new training different?
The new edition of My Gift: Myself A Guide to Excellence in End Of Life Care, is based on a modular training concept. The 7 DVD Core Program provides all the basic training and this is then supplemented with specialty modules for all types of different volunteer, care giver, and professional individuals. This system efficiently allows Border Mountain to offer Hospice and End Of Life Care training to a much larger range of programs and individuals than before. This also makes the specialty module training more highly focused and appropriate for each group.

How do I know what to order for myself or my facility training?
Please view the explanation of the My Gift: Myself A Guide to Excellence in End Of Life Care on the Core Program page, followed by the information on our Ordering page. Then select your facility or individual specialty program from the menu on the left of this webpage. That specialty page wil have order information that is specific for your program or individual needs. If you have any questions please check our Contact page and email or call us.

When will my specialty materials be ready for distribution?
The Core DVD Program: My Gift: Myself A Guide to Excellence in End Of Life Care, the Core Manual & Volunteer Supplement, and the Hospice Volunteer Coordinator's Manuals are completed. Training related to Long Term Care Facilities should be released by early 2012, followed by the VA Healthcare and Prison system materials. All remaining specialty module materials are expected to be released later in 2012 or 2013. There is a huge amount of information being created - with 20 New DVD's and 14 new guides, booklets, and manuals to be published. Due to such a large volume of production work we can only give approximate completion times.

Can I preorder materials that are not ready yet?
You can now order the Core DVD Program and the Core Manual & Volunteer Supplement, and then order the additional specialty materials when they are ready. If you are waiting for materials to be available for purchase, please email us and let us know what specialty materials you need and we will email you back when they are ready for distribution. Email links are provided on each specialty page that has unpublished materials and on our Contact page.

Can I use my old Hospice Volunteer manuals and Leader's Guides with the new material:
No, although many of the same subjects and effective training methods are used, the new material has been so extensively revised that none of the older manuals and guides printed before May 2011 are able to be used.

Can I still get replacement materials and manuals for my older versions of My Gift: Myself?
Yes, there is still a limited supply available of older version materials - as listed on our Older Versions page.
