Elements of Grief and Bereavement Practice and Education
This course focuses on skills, values, and practices to offer grief support and education.
Multiple levels of engaging bereavement are explored: individual support, group support, and working with a public audience. Learners examine current research and approaches for engaging with bereaved individuals across the lifespan, supporting "normal" grief and assessing when intervention is necessary. Learners will also explore and practice strategies for public engagement and knowledge mobilization. Through collaborative and self-reflexive learning, learners are encouraged to think critically about creating sustainable practices for bereavement care and education.
