GC 740 - Grief Support for Global Cultures & Religions

Course overview

The CE course in the Diverse Populations Grief Specialist Certification Program curriculum focused on Global Cultures and Religions covers a comprehensive overview and review of forms of grief rituals practiced by world religions, including Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and their respective denominations and subsects in areas of the world where they are most commonly represented. It then explores the ways that those who come from these religions may be able to still practice their grief rituals if they live in societies where their religious practices are not common. Students learn how to support clients from diverse religions, as well as other spiritual practices and secular approaches to grief. This Grief Support for Global Cultures and Religions course includes readings/study from the assigned textbook.
