Here, There, and Everywhere: Understanding Cultural Diversity in Grief
As our world grows smaller, caregiving professionals are more frequently confronted with death and bereavement beliefs and customs that are different than their own. In this workshop, professionals don’t get a “laundry list” of cultural stereotype characteristics (“Latinos do this, African Americans do that, and Muslims do this other thing”). Instead, those attending encounter a diversity of beliefs from key people groups and learn skills for assessing and intervening more effectively with families from groups unlike their own families to develop cultural humility and cultural curiosity.
Objectives: At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to…
- describe the factors that inform one’s perspective on grief and loss
- apply the personal qualities that prepare one to provide effective cross-cultural care
- utilize skills that help us grow in cultural humility (or curiosity)
